Just purchased a used 2011 Volt with about 131500 miles. Love the car. But I've gone down the rabbit hole of ways to diagnose potential bank account crippling battery issues. I invested in a new 12v AGM battery in the trunk, a Veepeak dongle (Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ Bluetooth 4.0 OBD II Scanner...

We have 2 Volts a 2012, and a 2014 the 2012 LCD Cluster screen seems to be locked into the Extended Range display, showing both the battery and the fuel tank on the right. the original showed the little throttle effeciency indicator. It's not running the gas motor, but still curious as to what...

Im in a need for new set of shocks all around on my daughters' 2011. I keep seeing this note " Prior to VIN# C4141111 " What does that mean? Does it affect my BU VIN ? Thanks! Peter

I have a 2012 volt without opt yk8, I was wondering if the volt is compatible with any 2011-2014 transmission?

My 2012 Volt broke down and the dealership is quoting me $7500 for repairs. They would replace the motor 1? in the transmission and the AC compressor. To make a long story short my Volt coasted to a stop and would never turn back on, this was after a self-repair on the bearing that makes the...

I'm a Gen1 volt owner that would like to have apple carplay integrated in my car's system, but doesn't want to shell out several hundred bucks for existing workarounds. What I want to try: one can buy an adapter with a cracked apple carplay auth chip for $40 from a company called CarLinKit...

So I am just wondering how is it possible for me to get 10.9 kWh out of my battery when its only rated 10.7 for 2014 usable, its going on 5 years old with about 56k miles on it. Im not complaining just wondering how. During the winter I noticed on average its down to 10.2 kWh but during this...

I have a 2013 chevy volt. My workplace is 35 miles away. If I leave the house, my "charge meter" says I estimate about 40 to 38 miles usually. as soon as I start driving, the meter drops... almost instantly.... its 40....39..38...37..36..35.34.33.32.31...30...29... and then sits at 29 and begins...

So I just washed my gen 1 2014 volt an noticed the wheel last touched by a tire center one lug nut without its cover. Are the lug nuts solid or they have covers than can fall or crack off?

GM installed Automatic climate control to allow for lower energy consumption an maximum range. The 2013 onwards Gen 1 (at least the ones I've seen) need a revisit of the K33 software as they are: 1) Wasting electricity running the A/C unnecessarily counteractive to heating! 2) Running the A/C...

Greetings from Los Angeles! I'm tired of giving my money to the oil companies. They are singlehandedly endangering the human race, they've been lying to us for years, filling our government with their puppets, and polluting our world so they they can enrich themselves. I want to vote against...

I have a question for the engineering geeks here: Let's assume I am at the top of a mountain, and I've fully charged a Gen 1 Volt. Then, as I go down the LONG hill, the car puts some of the regenerative braking energy into the battery. How does the car brake when the battery is absolutely...

OK, how do we see how much unsold inventory there is for the Gen1 Volt? I did a search using Autotrader and came up with ~3650, but not sure how accurate this is. Cars.com is showing 4,450. I'm just curious after all of the news when GM built up inventory to 6000 units in May before stopping...
