air conditioning

OK, just to get this out of the way - Auto Defog is turned OFF. Besides that, it's currently clear and very low humidity. What's happening is that no matter how warm we set the desired temperature in our 2014 Volt, the Air Conditioning Indicator on the Climate Screen will almost always go to...

Hey everyone, I drive a 2013 Gen1 Chevy Volt and have been having some problems with my A/C. Recently I was not getting any cold air from my eco or comfort settings. The fan still blew air, the heater still blew hot air, and the heated seats still worked. The check engine light came on the other...

I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing a noticeable variation in fan speed while in AUTO mode. I understand from reading the owners manual that the solar sensor (located on top of the dash) is partially responsible for change in fan speed based on the angle of the sun and how intense the sun...

First time Volt buyer question - I just bought a 2015 Volt and noticed that on the recent HOT days (over 95 degrees, feels like 108+) the fan only setting blows cooled air. Is this due to the Volt automatically cooling the battery? The Climate Efficiency reading runs at only 7% to 9% (the same...

My 2012 Volt (113k mi) is at the dealer for an unrelated check engine repair (another thread...) but I am taking the opportunity to have them check the HVAC system for a problem with very weak airflow. Maybe I am mis-remembering but I just don't recall the AC on Auto being this anemic (on...

I know this is one of those 1st world problems, but, I am new, and just want to learn, so I appreciate your indulgence with this question. With the Air Conditioning on and the fan speed at a fast/high speed, the fan speed reduces when directions are being given or if the phone is engaged. I...

Having purchased my 2016 in the winter and living in the SF Bay Area, I haven't yet needed air conditioning. This last weekend, however, I took my 2016 into the hotter Central Valley of California, and after a day in the sun, the car was hot and so was I. So I pushed the "max" button, turned the...

I believe this may be a common topic , however, I would like to get an expert opinion on this: I recently got a 2015 Chevy Volt. It runs very smooth in EV mode. No complaints there. As soon as car goes in gas mode, drive is very bad. It feels like car is getting pulled. Engine makes a lot of...

Here in Las Vegas we are in the middle of a hot week. Yesterday, after driving for about 15 minutes, my car said 114 degrees. My air conditioner was struggling to get cold... Is this fairly normal? I was planning on taking it to the dealership this week to have them check to make sure it is...

Hi everyone. I've noticed that when I am in Fan Only mode that the AC will come on, even when the interior temperature and outside temperature are equal. What do I do to use only outside air? I've tried everything and it will still cycle back on and go from 3% usage to 22% usage or more. ECO...

Hi folks: Love the Volt so far - have driven 1833 miles in first 30 days with 95 MPG! Super happy so far. Hopefully this is something simple or my user error! I am now facing this problem intermittently - the A/C is unable to go to 'ECO' mode but 'Fan Only' or 'Comfort' work just fine. I...

Drivers who idle while stopped face fines. Electric cars like the Chevy Volt are exempt, allowing drivers continued air conditioning in Hong Kongs hot weather. http://asiancorrespondent.com/73600/idling-engine-ban/ I heard one company is already announcing solar panel retrofits to power cars A/C.

Is anyone getting a musky smell comming from their A/C unit. It started a few days ago. I have advised my chevy volt advisor and awaiting his reply. I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues .. We have 2 volts and it is the same on both of them. Running the car does not make...

After a few days of Volt ownership, I've noticed an unexpected behavior in the climate control system: with the heater on in either Eco or Comfort mode, the AC compressor cycles on and off briefly (periods of 1 to ~ 30 seconds), and naturally the center stack's AC indicator changes in sync with...
