I will upload an attempt at restart as it is the only one I have where I was safely in a parking lot when it happened. They were supposed to call within 2 days. Especially when it happens and it is 15 seconds to complete shut down. Usually car will restart and run terrible. No brake lights that car is rapidly losing speed). Car will decelerate (on highway where vehicles behind have no warning. Least amount of time between messages and shut down is 15 seconds. Less than 4 minutes from 1st message to total shut down. Next message engine not available, service soon. When switching from battery power to the gas motor. The car will shut itself off with very little time to get to the side of the road if that is even a possibility.
2013 chevy volt problems update#
Dealer told me they are done with the update and in order to diagnose the vehicle, I have to pay $430 and more than likely thousands of dollar to fix it.
It was weird as to why my car is getting worse while being in the dealer. I was not able to move my car and the battery still had 8 miles left. When I pushed the power button, it would say engine not available and it would also say loss of propulsion and check engine light still on. When I went to go check out my vehicle, it was in a worse condition then when I dropped it off. I went to go look at my car a couple days later after I filled a complaint with gm headquarters because this should be covered under the recall. Later on they called me that my car had 8 check engine lights on and that I needed a transmission because their was a whining sound and also loss of propulsion still on. Service advisors told me they would fix my car as it was covered under the recall even though my car was salvaged. Check engine light was on, but loss of propulsion light was gone. The Volt was still able to move slowly up the tow truck and when I arrived at the dealership, it was still able to move slowly to the entrance of the service station. I called tow truck and I towed it to dealership. I was able to move the car very slowly somewhere more safe. I pressed the power button to turn off the car and then I waited about 30 seconds and I turned the power button back on and the car came on as only power mode. My car came to a complete stop in the exit lane of the freeway. It was very dangerous because it was also dark. My car shut down and slowed down on the freeway as I was driving. I was driving my 2013 Chevrolet Volt and I received a loss of propulsion message on my dashboard and immediately followed by a check engine light. But, it is unclear if this is a design flaw, manufacturing flaw, or a one time occurrence. The valve was ordered (tech remarked that the part is "popular") & installed. After two 30 mi tows to get to a dealership with a Volt tech, it was determined that a bad egr valve was causing a fuse to blow. After 3 hours, all systems failed, including lights. I put the hazard lights on and waited for a chp officer due to lack of cell service & highway safety concerns at night. I tired to put the car in park, apply emergency brakes, and shut the car down but it was difficult to tell if these features were working. My car quickly decelerated, but I was able to get to a narrow shoulder. Approx 200 mi later, I was on a remote, unlighted highway when I received an engine unavailable alert and lost power. I also received a gm diagnostic e-mail stating there was an emissions problem that should be serviced within 7 days, but did not become aware of this e-mail until a day later. I was told that the propulsion alert was not an immediate concern & that the overheating was likely not related. I exited the interstate and proceeded to the nearest dealership to determine if it was safe to continue on my trip. After an additional 50-75 mi I received an action required: engine overheating reduce speed alert. Into the trip I received power propulsion reduced alert. I was driving on interstates & highways using hold (gas) mode, occasionally mountain mode. The monthly diagnostic report I received the day before my departure indicated no problems with the car, which had approx 40,500 mi. Prior to starting my 1,100 mi trip with my 2017 Volt premier, I inflated the tires, checked fluids, & charged the car.
