    $549 for a lease? What type of lease did you get?? I didnt think a lease at that price was possible. Do you have a 11 or 12?

    Good points raised above. My questions:
    1. What happened when you called OnStar to report the problem?
    2. What has your Volt Advisor said?

    For a first post, I have to raise a little suspicion. 549/mo lease payment? That is much higher than we've seen before. The Volt Advisors in Michigan should be working with you on this and keeping you updated on the issues if this is really going on.

    It's possible he was upside down on his other car when he turned it in on the Volt. Perhaps they folded the negative equity into his Volt lease. (I have seen this done before.)

    In the absence of any error codes or your dash lighting up like a Christmas tree I'd take the suggestion of looking at what, if anything, is obstructing the accelerator or if there is some problem with the accelerator. What other issues have you had?

    This appears to be his tweet:

    Andru Edwards‏@AndruEdwards

    @ChevyVolt my @Chevy Volt almost got me killed (or brutally injured) today due to battery malfunction while driving…we need to talk.


    I'm sure they will jump all over this, even though its a total asshole move.

    On the other hand, "Trevor" responded within 7 hours to this indirect complaint. That makes me feel comfortable that GM is serious about supporting us Volt owners.

    OK, I get it now. I re-read the original post and now the problem is obvious. "drusoicy" is in Seattle.

    Between the left lane blockers and the poorly-designed and ridiculously over-crowded roads here, *no* car *ever* goes over 3 MPH.
