Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Check engine light came on during highway driving and dash showed "Propulsion Power Is Reduced". Dealer said bad EGR valve and/or EGR cooler caused fuse to blow. Replacing fuse did not resolve the issue as it occurred again. EGR failure is a common issue with this vehicle and there is a GM service bulletin 18-NA-089 issues in March 2018. Driving with this condition can cause the engine to overheat as well as cause increased emissions due to the EGR being non-functional. This condition can be dangerous if the engine overheats and shuts down during highway driving. Emissions control systems such as EGR should be covered by the manufacturer but I had to pay out of pocket for this repair.

HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Volt. The contact stated that occasionally at start-up or while driving at various speeds, the "Propulsion Power Reduced," warning message would appear on the instrument panel. Once the warning message would appear, the vehicle would not shift out of first gear. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasion; however, the code reader could not diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was given a case number. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Car couldn't be turned off. Dash would say "shift to park" when it was already in park. The problem was intermittent but the number of times needed to get the car to shut off was increasing. GM was aware of the problem but said it hadn't risen to Recall status. I saw over 500 of the same complaint online. They charged $800 to replace the switch and wiring. GM has stopped making Volts, so that could be why no recall???

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

After a little over 3 years and 16017 miles, my Volt would not recognize it had been shifted into park and would not shut off. This started occasionally doing this, and reshifting out of and back into park solved it. Finally, I could no longer get the car to recognize it was in park and could not shut off the car (still running on electricity). I drove it to the dealer, and they kept it a week. They replaced the transmission shift controller and cable. The repair total was $452.85, and my Ally extended warranty covered all but the $100 deductable. GM has a technical bulletin out on this issue: #19-NA-206.

This started occasionally doing this, and reshifting out of and back into park solved it. Finally, I could no longer get the car to recognize it was in park and could not shut off the car (still running on electricity). I drove it to the dealer, and they kept it a week. They replaced the transmission shift controller and cable. The repair total was $452.85, and my Ally extended warranty covered all but the $100 deductable. GM has a technical bulletin out on this issue: #19-NA-206.

Additional Notes:

After a little over 3 years and 16017 miles, my Volt would not recognize it had been shifted into park and would not shut off.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

BECM (Battery Control Module part # (24296900)) on my 2017 Chevrolet Volt failed. When the failure occurred the instrument display showed a “Propulsion Reduced” warning. At the same time the engine started (the traction battery was fully charged at the time) and the check engine light came on. I subsequently received an email from General Motors that they had detected a lithium ion battery problem with the car and to have it serviced within 7 days. The GM dealer subsequently diagnosed the issue as a failure of the BECM module. Although an online search of this issue shows that there have been hundreds of failures of this module there are no replacement parts currently available. The car has been sitting at the dealer for several weeks with no estimate of when a replacement part will be available. The dealer has recommended not driving the car until it is repaired. I was able to drive it to the dealer on electrical power after the failure occurred.

Corrective Action:

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I received a 'Reduced Propulsion' message along with a check engine light and that progressed to a 'Engine not Detected" message and stranded along the interstate in a dangerous situation. Had it towed to a dealership which had a technician which could work on a volt - he replaced the Engine Control Module fuse which "fixed" the car for about 15 miles and then the 'Reduced Propulsion' error with the Check Engine light appeared. Technician said something must be shorting out the fuse. Dangerous situation.
