The only sound I get is from the rubber bushings on the suspension connection to the body structure. Only happens when I drive the car for the first time when I enter the car and add weight, keeps...

I think you need to where this car came from. Did it have water damage, etc. I'm not an expert but I would do a VIN search on those sites that claim to keep records on who owned and what may be...
talk to the plant electrician, see what else may be on the line. Let him know that you are not getting enough current to the car. There may be a problem on the building side of the circuit.....
I have had zero problems with the chargers, both the original and the replacement I received in the service update. Where I did have problems was with an outlet where I used the EVSE on a trip. ...
38K miles, 80% electric and ZERO problems, even when traveling and using the 120V unit and never had a problem with a public station. I find that public stations ether work or don't work and usually...
Really, How do you know that? Only way to really know is to read the engine codes. But I think in this case your life time MPG tells it all.

it is the battery that is cold, engine starts to provide heat to the battery to warm it to operational temps. This helps with battery life as well as overall efficiency.
Simple, another extra system doing the same function. Would lead to higher cost...
TSquare, the answer is that if you put lots of electric miles on the car, and from the picture the clue is that you have 171 MPG lifetime. The car will start the motor and run in for a while to 1)...
Today is my second birthday on my Volt with 37,800 miles 80% on Battery. My overall combined MPG is 104, average gas only MPG is 38. Not a single problem with this car and still runs as smoothly as...
I have a 2011 and on do not have all these new features, which ins OK with me. I just want to note that I find that the engine assisted heat is a good idea. In the 2011 it does not come on until...
Mine works fine with the two phones we have one that is in the car all the time and one that travels some of the time. Only SW issue I see is that the first phone to be mated becomes the priority...
Doing it that way is much less efficient then from the wall. Costs more to charge the car in gas cost, does not make sense to do it that way. Just drive the car in CS mode is more efficient...
Nothing wrong with the car, anti locks cut in and extended your stoping distance. This is something that you need to be aware of, and plan for on icy days. 10 MPH on ice is to much speed. Plan on...
I can attest to the fact that the Volt on Battery will do 100 MPH. The car was so quiet at 100 mph that my wife did not notice how fast we were going until I passed a car that was doing around the...
That is the reason I always switch to MM early so that it does not go into the recharging mode to get the battery charged up. That definitely waists fuel, it takes fuel to generate electricity for...
After driving my Volt for 2 years and 36K miles with at least 6k of that long distance driving. i settled down of a strategy based on the fact that best use of the battery. Electric mode is best...
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.... I have been telling people I talk to this for last 2 years! Actually my experience as to the level of ride and handling is based on my experience with MB cars. ...
I have never had any additional charges when the Volt is not charging. Except for the small amount of power (5 Watts) used by the charge station its self. If you pre warm your car Yes you will see...
There is no problem shifting to L because it is not actually a gear change but a SW signal to use higher Regeneration level. I keep it in L all the time. No harm will be done to the engine or...
