    Default Charge door sensor reads open when closed

    Maybe it's just me (or my Volt) but it seems I get the message "Charge Door Open" quite a bit even when it is totally closed. It seems I cannot close it "gently" or I get this message.... anybody else? If I close if quite firmly (almost hard) then it's OK but should the sensor be this sensitive?

    I might have to get on the Buy-Back list! lmao

    Default There's a fix for that

    Same thing happened to my Volt. The tech tried to adjust it but GM finally ordered a replacement door assembly. Problem solved.

    Yes, you need a replacement door assembly. Known issue with early build cars. I had mine replaced, and it's been fine ever since.
