Hi all,
I went to the dealer yesterday to perform the recall:
Recall Number
18V397000
Component
HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM
Summary
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2013 Chevrolet Volt vehicles. An update to the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2 (HPCM2) may have disabled the cell balancing function causing a low-voltage condition.
Consequence
If the voltage drops, the vehicle may lose propulsion, increasing the risk of crash.
This evening, coming back from work, I lost propulsion power completely suddenly. (I thought the recall is supposed to fix that, not cause that!) The car engine light turned on and although I have half a tank of gasonline left, it refuses to use it. So I was stranded by a hospital and my wife had to come, and we pushed the car into a parking lot spot.
When the car is restarted, it keeps on repeating the same thing.
The DTC display showed P1E00 Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2 requrested MIL illumination.
Any idea on what to do next? Go back to the dealer who performed the recall that sabotaged the car?
