    You could try having your dealership check for the registration electronically. I got my sticker within about 2 weeks of sending in the HOV paperwork, they actually showed up a day before my plates.

    My plates took quite awhile (6+ weeks seems reasonable). You could call the DMV and see if the registration has been processed, they might even give you the plate number over the phone so you can...

    The car does "learn" from your driving patterns and uses that to estimate the miles remaining. What does the kwh used display in the center stack show? If its 10+ kwh then my best bet is that you are...

    This is not true for the CA rebate. I leased my Volt and received my rebate check several weeks ago.

    I don't have one and my stickers and registration just came in the mail yesterday. (I was able to have my dealer check the registration via software on a daily basis so I could send in my forms...

    Oh and I also recommend getting in touch with your volt adviser ASAP if you haven't already. My dealership experience was OK, but the volt adviser was fantastic - mine really stayed on top of it...

    I had what sounds like the exact same issue with my new volt. Turned out to be a bad secondary air intake solenoid.

    Aside from my dealer having to overnight the part, the fix only took a few...

    I believe the CA emissions package (code PCV) includes a bump in the battery warranty. The CA emissions volt is 100% eligible for the $1500 credit (my credit was approved and should be in the mail!).

    CS MPG

    I am routinely getting 38-44 miles per charge, but when operating in CS mode the car is only getting 28-30 MPG in mixed city/freeway driving. Is this normal during the break in period? I would...

    The car will automatically turn off the engine light after 3 or 4 more "test" events that are similar to what caused the failure (In this case charge cycles).

    P0A4-00
    P1E00-00

    As an update, I reseated the gas cap yesterday (thinking that perhaps I hadn't tightened it enough) and this morning the check engine light was off.

    Hopefully it was just me filling the car in...

    Less than 400 miles and SEL on :(

    Just picked up my Volt from Los Angeles and drove it back up north.

    Unfortunately, about half way through the trip the service engine light came on. I spoke with On-Star and they mentioned that...

    Does anyone have a POC or web page that confirms that the E9A rate can be switched off of before 1 year? I just went to change my rate plan and they claimed that it is a 1 year lock in.

    Oh also, if anyone gets down this far - how does the baseline/tiering work with time of use? Do they just count the first "x" kwh in a month as your baseline usage?

    Maybe we will try - I wasn't aware that you could switch off the E9 rate. Their rate plans usually require a 1 year lock in, but since this is an "experimental" plan we can switch back if we end up...
