"Certified" means what? I bought a certified 2013 Volt then a week later noticed a chip in the windshield, I checked a photo I took in the Dealer lot prior to buying, Yup the chip was there. Dealer would replace the windshield but only with a cheap one, I had to pay $150 to get an OEM one. I also found lug nuts loose when I rotated the tires myself. Buyer needs to inspect. Certified is just a sales gimmick, it appears.
2013 Volt Heater Issues
Two months ago I purchased a Certified 2013 Volt. Sadly, it hasn't been a great experience. 3 visits for repairs in the first month of owning it and now an on-going issue with the heater the dealership hasn't been able to resolve.
My heater will sometimes work, sometimes not. Sadly when I've taken it in for this issue, the heater starts working again and they say they can't fix an issue they can't replicate.
This morning, it's 38 degrees out and the heater never kicked on, even after adjusting the temp all the way up to HI and keeping it on auto. It blew cold air for the entire 45 minute drive into work. I'm going to schedule another appointment, but I worry it'll be working again and I'll get the same answer that there is nothing they can do if they can't replicate it.
Has anyone experienced this before and been able to get this fixed? I've seen an old thread about needing a software update but the dealership insists the software in my volt is fully up to date so that wouldn't be the issue.
I really really want to like this car but it's not been a great experience so far.
