2011 Software Update?

[Flemingljr]

I've received a few calls from my Volt advisor asking me to schedule an appt. for a software update, then today she said the update was on hold. Have you guys received these calls too? What's in this software update?

Is this the software update that has been discussed in several different threads lately (service bulletin 11137)?

I would wait on the update. My Volt has had a few problems since the update.

I just had it done today and I'm waiting for the dealer to deliver the car. I'll let you know if I notice any difference. B-1567

My Volt recieved the update Monday, wile in to get the charge port door sensor problem fixed.
One thing that I thought would be in the update was the fix for the problem with the delayed charging being overridden with out connecting and reconnecting the plug.

Even though I had not experienced this problem before, I did today.

So was this correction included or not?

I did specificly ask the dealer for that update.

Also as others had mentioned on the other update thread, my Volt was returned clean but with the battery 28 miles lower on charge and about 18 miles more on the odometers, no gas was used.

Do you have another thread that describes this? You can override right before exiting the car like is clarified in this thread: http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread....OU-hourly-plan.

Well it wiped out all of my radio presets, as someone warned that it would. I specifically asked them to charge the car with their Level 2 charger, and they promised that they would. It was returned with 8 miles of AER showing. I would be willing to bet that someone either didn't know enough to override the preset charging time, or just forgot. Oh well, everybody has to learn sometime. Stay tuned.

We got the Volt software update today and really wish GM would let us know what was changed or fixed. It really would be great to get the KW/mile data on the LCD instead of miles driven, or in addition to that.

I was not trying to overide the delay, it just did it by it self, a bug that the up grade was suposed to fix.

Back to the original post to this thread. Is GM recommending that we wait if we have not yet got the update? Perhaps a VA could comment on this?
