2017 CHEVROLET VOLT Complaints

car will not turn off when in part and press power off button. Seems dangerous to me. Please issue a recall.

At approximately mile 370 of a 390 mile trip while operating the engine in hold mode, the engine overheated, requiring me to pull over to the side of the road, wait for the engine to cool, and then proceed to the nearest Chevrolet dealership using the battery in order to be repaired. The first warning I received was a "reduced engine power" message. I scrolled through the status pages and found the coolant temperature to be 230 deg F. I continued to monitor the temperature until a few minutes later received the overheat warning and pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle is a 2017 Chevrolet Volt with approximately 15,000 miles. The dealership found the EGR valve (part # 12691147) to be internally shorted and replaced it. From various internet reports this appears to be a common occurrence for this model year. This is a safety risk in that it is most likely a known defective part that fails prematurely totally unexpectedly.

Upon shifting vehicle in park, the vehicle will not turn off and shows a "shift to park" warning on the dash. Jiggling the gear shift has worked in the beginning but now is becoming less effective. Vehicle does not shut off unless this warning clears. We view this ad a safety and security concern.

The car will be shifted in park, but the car does not recognize it. It will show “Shift to Park” and won’t lock while sounding the alert. It’s very bad for the safety for the vehicle

Shift to park message comes up randomly. Doesn’t allow car to be put in drive. Goes away randomly.

CURRENTLY, THE VOLT WILL BE PARKED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF THE CAR. IT IS DISPLAYING A MESSAGE SHIFT TO THE PARK ISSUE. THIS IS VERY MISLEADING CONSIDERING THE CAR IS ALREADY IN THE PARK MODE AND WILL NOT TURN OFF.

Shift to park issue. When stopping the car and placing it in park it will flash a warning message stating that you need to "Shift to Park" even though the car is in park. As a result the car will effectively keep running for a period of time. My 2017 Volt began exhibiting this issue recently. I took it to the local Chevy dealer who charged me $106.00 to tell me what they already knew since there are multiple Service Bulletins for this issue. The car only has 34k miles on it but is past the 3 year limit so they also want to charge me to repair it but based on multiple online chatter the repair does not typically last for more than a year. Why is something like my car will not shut off not being treated as a safety concern??

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN PUT IN PARK, GIVES THE ERROR "SHIFT TO PARK" CANNOT TURN VEHICLE OFF AND GOES IN TO ACCESSORY MODE.

IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND THAT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN ARRIVING TO A STOP (AT TIMES) THE CAR STILL ADVANCES FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT, EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING USED AS FAR AS IT CAN. ALSO THE VEHICLE CLAIMS TO BE LOSING PROPULSION, OFTEN, AND SEEMS STRAINED WHEN OPERATING WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS.

MY 2017 CHEVROLET VOLT PRESENTS A "SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR. WHEN I SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK AND PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON, I RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH DISPLAY INDICATING: "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK." THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER REMAINS LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE PROBLEM IS ONLY CURRENTLY RESOLVED BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, FOLLOWED BY SHUTTING IT BACK OFF AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS UP TO 6 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD ACTUALLY SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTING IT INTO GEAR, FOLLOWED BY RETURNING IT TO PARK AND SHUTTING IT OFF, RESOLVES THE ISSUE. WHEN THE "SHIFT TO PARK" ISSUE OCCURS, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE AS IT IS STILL "RUNNING."
