    Hey folks, I've been stalking these threads for a while. I'm going to be buying a 2017 premiere in a few days. ~70k miles. The dealership has a picture of the cluster showing 100% SoC and 36 miles of ev range. I have no idea about this car's history and no way to find out, so my question for...

    My daughter's 2016 Volt has had THREE traction battery failures. Under warranty, but the replacement takes forever and the warranty does not cover towing and rental cars. ANY suggestions - aside from trading it in,.
  3. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    Hi all, Hoping to get some answers, as I'm stumped. I'm driving a 2016 with about 81,000 miles on it. About 2 months ago, I was getting the dreaded Propulsion Power Reduced error message and the shift to park issue. Dealership replaced the battery engine control module and replaced the...

    An article from January of 1994, one that pre-dates me! Some of you may remember the Impact 3 from GM (better known as the EV1 at production), but who remembers the AFS2000-10 prototype? https://www.nytimes.com/1994/01/03/business/make-or-break-year-for-electric-cars.html
  5. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    The service high voltage system is back on for me in my 2013 Volt. I filled the coolant and cleared the codes. But that wasn't it. I've never replaced my battery, so I'm going to give that a try before I try the code reprogramming as I hate to pay 250 to the dealer just to look at it and...
  6. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Hello everyone, Due to circumstances I had to leave my Volt unused for a few months (about 8 months now) in the garage. I still did take it out of the garage maybe 2-3 times, just about on the driveway to make it do the ICE filtering/cleansing (not sure how it's called). Everything fine until...
  7. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    GM says the old AC Compressor exploded during $3,600 replacement of it on Chevy Volt and they’re not responsible if cabin AC doesn’t cool. The engine light came on a few hours after picking up the car: P1E00 and P0534. Any advice? What’s my recourse here? And before people go on why I did an...
  8. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    Once every couple months or so I check my HV traction battery cell balance with My Volt Control Diag and/or MyGreenVolt Connect OBD apps. To my knowledge, in an ideal world (that doesn't exist) all cells would be within +/-5 millivolts (10mv delta) after a full battery charge. A year ago I was...

  11. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    From my research it seems like the symptoms are very similar and could be confused for one another, and I wasn't able to find a clear difference online. What would be some major things to differentiate between the two? My issues if you'd like to read more: 2015, 92000 miles My symptoms: -Car...
  12. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I Have a 2012 Volt with approximately 130K miles. As can be expected in the hotter summer months, my "full charge" mileage has been reduced, but now that the weather has cooled some, especially at night when the car is charging, I've not seen the same mileage that I was getting this past spring...
  13. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Hi folks, I haven't posted here in quite a while -- because my Volt's been behaving nicely for a long time. But not now. A few days ago, just as I was about to leave with it on a long driving trip, it sprung the "Service High Voltage System" message on me. So I took Old Faithful, our...
  14. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Hi! I have a 2013 volt that is leaking coolant. There’s damage to a metal pipe underneath the body. I think it might be the coolant inlet hose? Coolant to the battery? They are metal. The dealer says this “ ENGINE COOLING COOLANT PIPES ARE DAMAGED AND RUBBING AGAINST THE OIL PAN AND COOLANT IS...
  15. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    I keep having issues with my car dying if it's left for more than a couple days. The battery has been replaced, and the issue remains. I've now taken it to two different mechanics that say there's nothing wrong with the car, and no matter how much I tell them this is constantly an issue they...
  16. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    In just the last several weeks, my 2015 Volt has started giving the momentary [c. 1-2 seconds, then disappears] message of "BATTERY TOO COLD, PLUG IN TO WARM". This occurs while driving, with the AC running. I am in Minnesota and the temps have been in the mid 80's F, so I'm going to guess it...
  17. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 2 Chevy Volt
    I have a 2016 Volt with 82K miles. Although the car drives great, I have noticed small charging nuances and was wondering if these are initial signs that the battery will need to be replaced soon, or maybe this is not the issue. I would appreciate an input, this gal is trying to learn about...
  18. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Hi guys, I'm here in Australia and looking at a 2013 Volt for sale, only 250 cars were sold in Australia, but lots in USA. My main concern before purchasing is the cost of replacing a battery on a 10 year old car. What is the cost of replacing in USA ( or Australia if any knowledge). When can...
  19. Use, Care & Maintenance - Gen 1 Chevy Volt
    Hi everyone, I am the brand new owner of a used 2011 Volt. I have only been able to charge it to 23 miles. I took it to the dealer to have them check it out. They say there is nothing wrong with it, it is just getting old. I would like more range of course, but don't want the battery to die on...
  20. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    Hi all. For the last 4 years, our 2017 Volt has consistently had a range of 59 miles after a full charge overnight at home. Suddenly, 3 charges ago, the range was only 49 miles. My first thought was that the charge limit had dropped from 12 amps to 8 amps, but that wasn't the case. Now there...
