Ever since I brought my Volt into the dealership for the most recent recall my car has been abruptly switching to ICE during hard acceleration. I?ll try to start off slow from a red light but when it gets to about 60kw it randomly shuts off switches to the gas motor and creeps along at 20mph until it figures out that it has a full battery again. This process takes about 20 seconds and can be quite dangerous. The check engine light has not come on.

Good morning, Voltdaily80!

At your earliest convenience, could you shoot me an email with your VIN, contact information, preferred dealer name and your current vehicle mileage? This certainly doesn't sound right, and we'd like to look into this situation further on our end with your dealership.

Best,

Amber G.
