ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I had just left my house about to enter the on-ramp to Interstate 95 south when my 2016 Volt abruptly and without warning stopped. I was unable to coast or pull the car to the side of the road. I was in the middle of the lane in a dangerous place to stop a car and a dangerous place to get out of the car due to the steady traffic entering the interstate. My car would not restart and I had it towed to the Portsmouth NH Chevy dealer. As it was the beginning of the GM strike I had to wait several days for the replacement battery control sensor then I had to wait for another 4 weeks or so for a replacement transmission to be installed. The day after I got my car back, about 2 weeks ago, the transmission fluid was leaking onto the garage floor. The Chevy dealer has ordered new transmission hoses but only one has come in and I was told not to drive my car until these were replaced. The sensor pad and transmission were covered under warranty, I was told the hoses to the transmission and labor to install them are not part of the transmission and not covered. The incident has been extremely inconvenient but the way my car just abruptly stopped and wouldn’t restart was very unnerving and could have been very dangerous. I do not have paperwork at the moment but can provide a dealer invoice of the covered work so far. Please contact me with any questions.

On 2023/09/09, my Check Engine Light came on, and my car showed a "Reduced Propulsion" warning. As I continued to drive home, the car later began overheating, requiring me to reduce speed & stop frequently to let the car cool down. The local Chevrolet dealership diagnosed it as a failed EGR valve that caused the "non walk home" fuse to blow, which also disables the car's Engine Coolant Thermostat Heater (hence the overheating). Also three months later, this part is still on backorder with no estimated time of delivery.
Corrective Action:

General Motors, Llc
Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on a highway and all of a sudden I have a Check engine light and “propulsion power reduced” on my display. I took my car to the dealer and found out it was my EGR valve that had an internal failure and it was needed to be replaced. This should be a recall because I was under warranty and they stated that my warranty only covers in California or an emission state. It’s been about 2 months it’s been on back order and I cant even drive my car. This is not a rare problem every volt with a EGR valve has failed.
