2017 CHEVROLET VOLT Complaints

EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS CURRENT 2018 CHEVROLET VOLT RECALL. BOTH OUTBOARD REAR SEATBELTS FAIL TO LOCK IN A WAY THAT A CARSEAT CAN BE INSTALLED. THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED WHILE TRYING TO INSTALL A CAR SEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE MIDDLE REAR SEATBELT WORKS PERFECTLY. THE DATE LISTEN BELOW IS THE DATE THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED.

AT SPEED 82 IN BUSY TRAFFIC THE CAR SHOW UP A MESSAGE PROPULSION POWER IS REDUCED AND STARTED TO JUMPING AND IT LOSE POWER AT THE SAME TIME ENGINE WAS RAVING AND THE BATTERY START TO DRAIN FAST

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE. WHEN SHIFTING TO PARK AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE MESSAGE "ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARS EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE SHIFTER IS IN PARK POSITION AND CAR APPEARS TO BE IN PARK. BECAUSE OF MESSAGE, THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED AND ELECTRONICS REMAIN ON. THIS MESSAGE IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN BE TYPICALLY CLEARED BY WIGGLING THE SHIFTER WHILE PRESSING BRAKE, OR AFTER TURNING IGNITION ON/OFF 1 OR MORE TIMES. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WIDELY KNOWN BY GM AND OTHER CUSTOMERS, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET.

THE VEHICLE HAS A "SHIFT-TO-PARK" ISSUE THAT IS BECOMING WORSE. WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK AND THE IGNITION BUTTON DEPRESSED TO TURN OFF THE CAR, AN ERROR LIGHT INDICATES "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT-TO-PARK." THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF, THE LIGHTS REMAIN ON, AND THE DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED. BY PLAYING WITH THE SHIFT LEVER, SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY REALIZES IT IS IN PARK.

SHIFT-TO-PARK ISSUE. WHILE IN PARK, CAR SHOWS ERROR "SHIFT-TO-PARK" AND ELECTRICAL PARTS OF THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF. AFTER SHIFTING TO DRIVE/LOW AND THEN BACK TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES, IT SENSES THAT THE GEAR IS IN THE PARK LOCATION AND ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE SHUT OFF. HOWEVER, THIS HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. MOST RECENT ISSUE TOOK OVER 15 MINUTES OF DOING THIS TO GET THE CAR TO REMOVE THE ERROR AND TURN OFF. ISSUE STARTED AROUND 31,000 MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE AS OF THIS WRITING IS 34,000.

CAR WON'T TURN OFF AFTER I SHIFT TO PARK AND DEPRESS THE POWER BUTTON. INSTEAD THE CAR WANTS ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AGAIN. CAR IS STATIONARY.

WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR BY HITTING THE POWER BUTTON, THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL SAY "ACTION REQUIRED. SHIFT TO PARK." THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I AM USUALLY ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BY PRESSING AND RELEASING THE SHIFT KNOB SEVERAL TIMES AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK. THE ISSUE BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. I AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN IN A SITUATION WHERE I MAY NEED TO QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE.

AFTER I STOP THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, AND THEN PRESS "POWER" OFF, I GET AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK" AND THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS ALREADY IN PARK. THE GEAR SHIFT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL MANIPULATION (TO BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH) BEFORE THE CAR UNDERSTANDS THAT IS IN "PARK".

AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AN "ACTION REQUIRED - SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR OCCURS. THE CAR IS ALREADY IN "PARK" POSITION. THIS STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE CAR CANNOT BE TURNED OFF AND DOZENS OF TIMES MUST BE STARTED AND GEAR SHIFTED IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS UNTIL, EVENTUALLY, WILL TURN OFF. MANY COMPLAINTS FOR OTHER GEN 2 VOLT USERS AS DESCRIBED AT:: HTTPS://WWW.SANDIEGOCAN.ORG/2019/11/26/ALERT-2017-CHEVROLET-VOLT-SHIFT-TO-PARK-DEFECT/ SINCE THIS IS NOT A SINGULAR EVENT AND IT IS REPLICATED BY MANY USERS, PLEASE MAKE GM RECALL THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDE A FREE FIX.

AFTER CAR IS SHIFTED TO PARK AND IGNITION SWITCH PUSHED TO TURN CAR OFF, DASHBOARD DISPLAYS MESSAGE 'ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK' AND CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF. REPEATED POWERING CAR ON AND OFF, JIGGLING AND MOVING SHIFTER ALL DO NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM, AND CAR WILL NOT ALLOW SHUTOFF.
