I had some great timing as I got a flat yesterday and had to goo it with the temporary patch kit. I noted that the compressor switch was stuck on goo and wouldn't flip to compressor only. So I took...
Ah, I thought I was good. I just got my Volt to display 50 miles after a full charge. See my proud picture. That was accomplished with going very easy on the pedal on accelerating and braking. ...
Speak for yourself ronr64. I need the government to tell me how to help myself where it will have no impact on others! In fact I think it should be mandated that the manufacturers provide four...
I have the occasional same issue when engaging the parking brake and it started happening about a week ago as well. I've had the car for about 4 months now and about 3500 miles. It doesn't happen...
Almost 3k miles on mine and used about 4.5 gallons of gas so far. At this rate I think I'll need to fill up semi-annually.
Agreed...for us it's a great commercial but for the masses they are not ready for details such as this. Especially the part where they say you'll get a little less EV range. Folks have a hard time...
Agreed...a CUV would be great. We really don't need another voltec sedan. If they do make a CUV I'll be pressed to decide on trading in my Volt for a Buick Voltec CUV or a Tesla S.
Hmmmm...my Volt never made the start up sound. Dealer must have turned it down. =)
I sure hope Tesla pulls it off! I couldn't wait for the Model S so I pulled the trigger on the Volt as the next best thing. I may trade in my Volt in a year or two for the Tesla! Unless GM comes...
Yes, if the fan is off and you are in fan mode and you hit the big fan button to turn on the fan it will go into comfort mode. I don't know why. Seems flawed. What I do is go into the Climate...
That's what I do. I live in Santa Clara, CA and our muni offers 100% green energy portfolio. Based on my energy usage it costs me about $7/mo extra to have electricity sourced from renewable...
I've seen 4 so far. The VJ one on San Thomas which could be the same one you saw. A white one in Sunnyvale. Today I saw a CMG one in Woodside. The last one I see everyday in my garage. =)
It was the spare fob. It was in my glovebox since I got the car I just stuffed everything the dealer gave me in there.
Thanks, let me try that.
When I park my Volt and the last door is closed the car will honk three short times. I figured it was common but I did a search on the forums and didn't see anything, nor did I find it in the...
I'd like to see adjustable coast down feature. I find that the Volt keeps it's momentum quite well. In D mode I'd like to have it coast down a tad faster to be similar to a gas powered car as I...
I believe the generator kicks in but as a motor at speeds between 70-100mph to help it reach that top speed. I'm wondering if it can be hacked to kick in sooner to help in all cases with the pedal...
Not sure where I stand on the debate. But here is a paper to help think about the different issues between cotton and leather.

For what the tires are the handling is not bad. I think the weight distribution and lower CoG helps. I haven't pushed it to it's limits as I'm getting used to it. Could certainly use a beefier...
Xover style vehicle please! Within 5 years I hope to either get a xover style vehicle from GM as they said they are working on or get a Tesla Model S. The Volt will stay in the family, just go to...
