Hi everybody
My Volt is a 2018. Today my Volt seems to be dead. First, impossible to open the doors with either of the fob. Finally succeeded with the Volt remote app on my phone. Once in the car, try to start it, a message tells me that no fob was in the car! A picture in the cluster shows the place where I should put the key of the fob: in the console between the seats, remove the little rubber matt and find nothing to insert a key! Nothing was working, even OnStar.
I look in the owner manual, same thing "insert the key" but no picture!
I call my dealer and talk to a service advisor who tells me to simply put the fob in the bottle tray and starts the car, it works instantly!
What I realized later is that my remote transmitter to open my garage door was in that tray (since I bought the car two months ago) but for a few days I did not remove this transmitter from the tray to open the garage door, just push the button while in the tray. I recall also few bizarre things happening in the last days: car honks when I remove the charger like it was stolen, all windows open a morning, doors difficult to unlock.
I think that something in the computing management of the car has been confused by the garage door transmitter
