My 2014 Volt just passed the 4 year ownership mark and has a bit over 67K miles. My center stack has been freezing and resetting for a while now. The drive mode selector has now decided to stop cooperating as well. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it has a delay (similar to the center stack display delays) and sometimes it just doesn't work at all. I usually drive in normal on surface streets and switch to hold when cruising the freeway during my commute so I use the button several times a day.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks.

That button can get a lot of use/abuse and can either get dirty or simply wear out. It can be replaced. See this thread https://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?22161-Broken-Drive-Mode-Button

I had my whole console area replaced under warranty when my drive mode button stopped working. That button was integrated in the console. I would use 'sport mode' every time I drove.

I've seen videos of people prying off the button and making a little bit of a '*******' fix for it tho.

One good think about my mode button breaking and me getting a new console is the next generation had larger and more readable FONTs on it!!!

My mode selector was a part time to no time affair when i bought my 13, I pried out the button top with my pocket knife and shot a liberal shot of CRC contact cleaner into it. It's worked flawlessly since and that was a year and a half ago. --Worth a try and cheap

My mode selector switch also quit working. The previous owner had it replaced under B2B about 2 years ago. I did the tape trick and it works great. Thank you to who ever came up with that.

After taking my car to the dealer four times for this issue (drive mode button has a way of not working for weeks then it works at the dealer) they finally fixed it. It was replacement of the face plate thingy for the center stack. A bit over $700.

New button feels much firmer than old button and actually works now.
