Thank you WOT and everyone else who commented about the check engine code. I picked up my Volt at closing time today. The mechanic told me he replaced control block located at the fire-wall end of...

An update on Volt 1715.

I drove to the local dealer today with no performance problems and picked up a rental car. The dealer ordered the parts, which should arrive tomorrow via overnight...

Thank you, Paul.

I'm not sure I understand the manual, but the code is spelled out clearly.

Again,
Thanks,

Just finished talking to OnStar. My wonderful Red Volt #1715 has a check engine light with code P1EBF - which I think means "Hybrid/EV Battery Multifunctional contactor stuck closed." I assume that...

Congratulations on your new Volt!!):cool:

The 120 v should have been stored under the hatch when you picked up your new Volt at the dealer. One tip, I find I have to wind the cord pretty tightly...

Ah, I wouldn't be so quick to blow off www.voltstats.net. For those that agree to the site terms, voltstats downloads mileage data straight from the car every 4 hours or so around the clock.

Congratulations. :)

I bought my Volt in Virginia. Enjoy your quite, efficient miles.

Well, I hate to be a spoil sport, but I wouldn't go calling Guiness quite yet. You need to look at www.voltstats.net. 105 electric miles in a day doesn't make the top 200.

The furthest in a...

So, ah, who thinks the lack of powered seats is why sales have been so lousy?

You also might want to run the numbers on a solar hot water heating system. I recently saw an installation of both hot water and electric solar panels. The hot water system payback looked much...

Congratulations, Lars. I hope you enjoy your Volt as much as I have for the past 32,000 miles. You may be able to find the answers to many of your questions in the FAQ put together by Chris C and...

Funny, the article doesn't mention that Dr. Sadoway has started his own company, Ambri, that is developing a liquid metal battery that uses magnesium and antimony as the main components. I'm pretty...

Have you called OnStar? Do you have any DTC codes? If so, please share with the thread.

This survey is a big deal to dealers. There must be some performance money behind the ratings.

If GM still has the Volt Service Advisor, I'd give them a call and complain. I've found them very helpful.

There really are good dealers out there. The Volt Service Advisor used to monitor this...

I had the same sort of damage almost 2 years ago, also from road debris. Luckily there was no damage to the battery. The car was in the shop about 3 days to replace the radiator. All and all very...

I recommend heated seats. I can tell you that my wife reeeally likes the heated seats. So do I.

Of course, you could always fill a hot water bottle and set it in your lap when you leave the...

Sorry to be a fun sucker, but....

If you are plugging into a 15 amp circuit or power strip with ANYTHING else on it, then you are violation of the National Electrical Code 80% of design rule. (15...

I can confirm the 2011 Volt will only charge at a max of 12 amps @ 120 v. You can install a 100 amp circuit, but that won't matter. The on-board electronics limits the current to 12 amps (at 120...

I received a book along with a Flip camera 2 years ago. :) The title was "Chevrolet Volt, Charging into the Future", by Larry Edsall. Is that the book you referenced? There was no QR sticker.
