Chevrolet Volt in Quebec, Canada Mar 2017 - Apr 2018

Jan 2018

During winter there is a frost build-up on the interior side of sheet metal roof. When driving for a long ride, ice becomes to melt and water drains in OnStar buttons. When going in a heated parking, all ice melted. Find water on seats, A pillar, OnStar buttons, etc. The dealer told my wife that was caused by bad snow removal on rhe roof of the car. That was obviously wrong when dealer tested the roof and windshield and concludes there were water tight. GM Canada wrote me that this was caused by my Weathertec floor mats that retains water from snow melting. After, GM Canada told me that moisture and frost in the interior of the vehicle was because we were setting tbe climate control to "Auto". It takes 1 week before GM finally accepts to pay repairs under the warranty. Worrying about water and moisture going everywhere in this car, airbags, etc. we decide to sell it and purchase a Prius Prime that is equipex with a heat pump that eliminate very well interior moisture.

Chevrolet Volt in British Columbia, Canada Nov 2014 - Jul 2018
Dec 2014 3720 mi	Volt refused 240v charging but accepted 110v charging. Dealer changed a computer. Won't be clear if fix was successful until we have another downpour. I had the same issue, twice, as a 2013 model owner, namely coming out and finding all my windows rolled down. Each time nothing was stolen and it wasn't raining. GM says I must have accidentally held down the unlock button on the fob.
Nov 2015 9920 mi	Car would not accept a charge from either 110 or 220 charging stations. The charging socket in the front left fender was replaced with one less likely to soft ground faults. Car's NON ADJUSTABLE internal clock did not switch time when DST kicked in. This resulted in incorrect estimated charging times of 1 hr. Console clock is only correct after manual adjustment and leaving it in manual. 3 Hours wasted @ dealer.
Dec 2015 10540 mi	After 5 days, clock DST issue is unresolved. Additional problems now with Radio since they played with it. Awaiting call for a "system" replacement. Not impressed.
Jan 2016 19880 mi	Daylight Savings Time not functioning. 2nd trip to dealer who tried previously to update firmware but instead deleted some radio functions in addition to no DST. I am told that complete radio was now replaced. Seems to all work now.
Feb 2016 12400 mi	Driver's outside door lock release button stopped working. Good thing there's a remote, an app, and three other doors that still work.
Apr 2016 14040 mi	DST issue was not resolved at the last visit when dealer replaced the audio unit. I did tell them that it was the car' s own internal clock that was not switching over but they did not listen. I guess they know better. STILL NOT FIXED!
Aug 2016 17520 mi	Dealer damaged car during the previous visit by denting the hood. Another dealer dent was also repaired. Initially dealer never said anything. Dealer tried to make me pay half of the second dent. In the end I paid for none of the repairs.
Jan 2017 21700 mi	Releasing electric parking brake after the Volt has sat for a while seems to seize the rear left caliper.rnThe badly scored rotor and defective caliper then releases with a nasty clunking noise. All other rotors are smooth.
Oct 2017 28300 mi	ABS came on once this fall when braking when there clearly was no reason for it due to low speed, flat road condition, etc. I did not bother to see the dealer. Similarly to last year, and at about the same time, meaning during very wet and damp weather, radio/center console panel stopped responding completely when I tried to lower audio volume. This meant that for about 10 minutes, I had no ventilation controls, nothing, except for emergency flashers. Shutting the car and re-starting did not fix the problem. This happened twice within 20 minutes. The last time I went in they said "no fault found". I'm anxiously waiting to trade this dangerous car in for a different brand.
Mar 2018 32860 mi	Not really a repair, more like I've given up. Car still has not switched to DST and we are 30 March now. Also on two occasions audio system went dead i.e. "greyed out apps" while driving. This meant no phone, no volume controls, no cd play function, no AM, FM. The ventilation "app" like button still functioned. No amount of "rebooting" fixed it. After 30 minutes or so parked, it was like nothing ever happened. Seriously tired of these problems.
