Welcome to the family, and don't be a stranger. Surprised to hear you had such issues with your Prius. Thought they were very reliable. Oh, and while you may still have a chance to swap at the dealer, test for the *BANG* issue in my sig. Essentially, when you run out of EV range, do some neighboorhood stop-n-go driving (or traffic) and listen for a bang every so often as you accelerate from 0 to 10+ mph. If you just gun it to 60 mph you won't hear it. If you've done it for maybe 4 days straight in 70F or warmer weather, I'd say you don't suffer from the bang.

If you do hear the bang/misfire sound, go swap your Volt pronto. Or give GM corp hell. >
