2016 CHEVROLET VOLT Complaints

WARNING ABOUT AIRBAG SYSTEM NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND TOLD TO BRING CAR TO DEALER WITHIN 1 DAY. CAR WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET WITH MY SON IN FRONT. I DON'T KNOW EXACT PARTS BUT I BROUGHT IT TO CHEVY AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR FIX (SO THE CAR IS STILL THERE WHILE I APPEAL). IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE SYSTEM IN THE SEAT AND POSSIBLY DASH THAT CONTROLS THE AIRBAG.

SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN CAR IS IN PARK. CONTINUES TO RUN AND WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN IN PARK. ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED IS "SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN WHEN IN PARK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE CAR WILL NOT DISENGAGE OR TURN OFF. THIS OCCURS FREQUENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET VOLT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK-UP CAMERA WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE FRONT CONSOLE WOULD NOT WORK IF OTHER SERVICES WERE BEING USED. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO GET THE CONSOLE TO WORK AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RELIABLE CHEVROLET (800 N CENTRAL EXPY, RICHARDSON, TX 75080, (972) 201-9240) WHERE THEY RE-FLASHED THE MODULE AND CHANGED THE CAMERA; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS A HYBRID AND THE BATTERY WAS DEPLETED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE CARBON MONOXIDE LEVEL IN HER GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO SHUT OFF AND THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES TO MAKE SURE IT FINALLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AND CALL BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. *TT *JB *TT THE CONSUMER STATED UNRESPONSIVE DISPLAY GOES BLANK WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE AIR CONDITION STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MESSAGE FROM ONSTAR READS: AN ISSUE WITH THE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY IN YOUR 2016 CHEVROLET VOLT HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 1 DAY.

ENGINE BECAME DISABLED WHILE DRIVING, DISPLAYING A "POWER REDUCED" MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET, AND I HAD TO TRY TO PULL OVER WITH TRAFFIC MOVING AT A FAST PACE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX.

ALL VEHICLE SYSTEMS ARE NOT REGISTERING THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK WHEN THE SHIFTER IS IN THE PARK POSITION. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GEAR INDICATOR REGISTERS THE VEHICLE AS IN PARK, BUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO POWER DOWN THE VEHICLE AN ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS DIRECTING THE DRIVER TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE SERVICE CENTER FOUND METAL DEBRIS ON TONE RING. UNKNOWN ORIGIN

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I SMELLED SMOKE, THEN SAW SMOKE, AND THEN SAW FLAMES ON THE REAR PASSENGER FLOOR. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND PULLED MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE. WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

WHEN VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO PARK POSITION AND ENGINE IN POWERED OFF, THE DASH READS OUT THAT VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK POSITION. I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE SHIFTER OR DEPRESS THE BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES TO ENGAGE INTO PARK POSITION. IF THIS IS IGNORED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT REGISTER IN PARK AND CANNOT SAFELY BE LEFT UNATTENDED. THIS OCCURRENCE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A MONTH AT A DAILY RATE. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HONOR THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
