At 60,658 miles, I've had none of these issues. Still on my original Goodyear Assurance tires (based on tread left, I expect them to be good to at least 65k miles, as their limited tread life...
The navigation obviously used the GPS location from your smartphone / ipad, not the Volt.
Congratulations - it's your money. Myself, I am more than satisfied with my OEM Goodyear Assurance tires, which have got me through Michigan winters (and Ontario when traveling), and I don't use my...
Agreed. "Rust proofing" was a good money maker for the dealers, but it didn't rust proof, but merely added weight and perhaps reduced the noise somewhat. Ziebart was a bit of an improvement, going...
A good example of people reading what they want to, or not carefully and then drawing erroneous conclusions.
What I said (somewhat sarcastically - check my posting) was "If I had been off roading...
I was involved in the project when GM first introduced "event data recorders" in 1987 as part of the driver-only air bag system. We had to find a supplier to provide the equipment to the field to...
Wow, I just noticed in the article I found with the picture of the snagged presidential limo:...
No, but I did have a flat repaired in Ontario, but they used a hoist. The other flat was repaired at the dealer.
Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. In retrospect, if this is my biggest complaint over the past 2 years, then I am very happy with my Volt.
It's somewhat amusing seeing the "just pay the...
Maybe I'm undermining my own case, but this is the only way I could think how I could have possibly damaged the underbody deflector - in about this same location, behind the back edge of the front...
Absolutely not! One would never wash this piece. It is not the visible piece you are talking about. It is a closeout panel / deflector under the vehicle to create a smooth surface for airflow.
As a service manager, you obviously know that GM and other manufacturers pay for things out of warranty, particularly when there is an obvious product defect (think rusting pickup truck tailgate...
Did you see where it is, looking at the red arrow?? - it's practically on top of the red arrow, outboard, halfway between the 2 wheels. How does someone hit a parking block or curb with only the...
Today is the 2nd anniversary of buying my Volt. What should have been a joyous day was dampened by a call from Helen, my Volt advisor. The other day, I noticed something hanging down under my Volt....
The landscaper will likely be working during the day and making plenty of noise and attracting plenty of attention, while the Volt is lurking silently (okay, almost silently) at night.
Active thermal management is good for battery life. At a Volt event a while back, the Volt chief engineer explained they designed it so the noises would not wake a sleeping baby.
I have never been turned down during my many stops at hotels, where I do ask, but I do worry about the tripping hazard and opening myself and my insurance company up to a lawsuit - but more...
My SPX Level 2 Voltec charger was replaced under its warranty, but it was subtle. On delayed charge, it would forget to charge maybe 5% of the time, but would always work on immediate charge - kind...
You can carry a spare in your Volt if you like - it's your vehicle, and you are wise to strap it down. I know my wife would never change a spare herself, and it's a time-consuming hassle to call...
Yeah, I have had 2 slow leaks, for which I was able to use the inflator pump without the sealer to drive to get them repaired - in the second case, driving about 50 miles before the repair. I have...
