Read complaints for CHEVROLET VOLT (2018)
I ran into a vehicle in front of me during normal traffic on my way home from work, two months to the day of picking up my 2018 volt.the vehicle ahead of me may have stopped quickly, but it was not a stop the volt shouldn't have been able to handle.i was on a street in my neighborhood i drive every day in traffic.i hadmentioned to friends and family that the volt's brakes just did not feel on par with the rest of the car and would be the only aspect of this ev experience i found lacking.i have the dated text messages to prove this.now i have a volt at the body shop for the 5th week (lacking an ac line for reassembly), an over 55% increase in my insurance premiums (per the renewal notice i just received) and what really hasn't been a good experience.while i'm waiting for the return of my volt i have received the important safety recall indicating the braking performance may be reduced.if the car had been able to stop two feet shorter i'd have an undamaged three month old volt and my insurance standings untarnished.that two feet ended up costing over $17,500 to the car.turns out volts are also expensive to repair.i'm a 55 year old male, no wild kid.still stuns me that in 2018 gm can't get brakes right...the most important of safety systems.
Ntsb should require a recall of certain chevrolet volts.as an owner i received a letter from chevrolet stating that my volt 'may have a condition where it could gradually lose the ability to maintain voltage.if battery concerns are not addressed, over time the vehicle could enter a reduced propulsion mode while driving, or lose propulsion, or it may not start.'losing propulsion while driving is a serious safety issue, and warrants a recall.gary bailey
When attempting to power off vehicle after shifting to park, an error message is displayed on console, "shift to park", and the vehicle will not power off. Vehicle is in park when the issue occurs, but requires shifting out of park, possibly multiple times, to allow vehicle to power off. Issue occurs during each use of vehicle.
After i put the car in park, the car dashboard doesnt reflect this change, essentially assumes the car is not in park and i am unable to lock the car and the lights will stay on for a while. After jiggling the shift handle just the right way i could get it to recognize the car was indeed in park.
While attempting to turn the car off- a message appears saying "action required- shift into park". The car is in park and the dash registers that it is in park, the gear shift is locked in park but the system doesn't sense that it is in park and won't let the car shut off. Has progressively gotten worse and more frequent.
Park to shift issue.when car is placed in park it is not recognized and says that action is required.giggling the shifter or pressing the button on the shifter usually takes care of the problem.the car will not turn off unless it recognizes it is in park.
When trying to turn car off, "shift to park" error message appears on console, but car is in park as observed by gear shift and console display.order of events:car stopped in parking spot or garage; shifted to park; parking brake set; hit power button to shut down; "shift to park" error message appears; car will not shutdown.need to hit power button again in order to shift out of park to any other position (n, r, d, etc.), then shift back to park and hit power button again.sometimes 1 try works, but often the error message will appear again and multiple power button - shift to gear - shift back to park and power button again - sequences must be tried in order to turn the car off.please issue recall.
The vehicle has more consistently failed to turn off the display keep seeing shift to park and it's happening with more frequency.
Vehicle will not turn off on a regular basis..receive a message that reads:'action required.shift to park.'when this occurs, the vehicle can not be turned off or locked.researched this problem on the internet and discovered that it is a very common problem that affects nearly all 2016, 2017 and 2018 chevrolet volts.a recall should be implemented!
Shift to park issue, not allowing car to shut off.
Will not shut off when transmission shifted to park.
When the car is shifted to park and turned off, a "shift to park" message appears. The care has to be restarted, shifted out of park, and back to park again in order to turn the car off. The problem is currently sporadic.about 8 occurrences since early june, 2020.
When fully stopped and in park, turning car off, message appears 'shift to park'car is already in park. Upon pushing start to turn car off, most lights etc. Turn off except the speedo display. No way to turn it off. Car horn honks upon exiting car with keys. Speedo lights stay on, draining battery battery and possibly tempting a car thief.
I put the car in park and try to shut it off but it says i need to put the vehicle in park. It is in park but will not shut off.
Vehicle will not shut down properly. When trying to turn off push button ignition the vehicle says " action required: shift to park". The vehicle is already stopped and in park however it is not registering somehow.
I leased a chevy volt 2018, about 3 months after the first few charge, using the cable that came with the vehicle the car do not charge anymore, air conditioning not was working, i reposted the issues to the sales agent. He responded that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, that i need to learn how to use it. A couple of months later when i was driving the the vehicle started to sake and the control pannel wentcrazy, i call again to the dealer. They tell me this time to bring the car inn. After the keep it for a day, they call me to said that they have to keep the car because the car have a difectec battery cell, they tell me that they need to order this celd and install it. They keep the car for a week. After the car work ok for a couple of months and after the air conditioning no not work, i call ageing to report the problem, but they give me the same answer. After i received a notice of a recall for the air conditioning, i took the car for service and i noticed that they never rotated the tires as they claimed. The problem with the air continue, so i took the car to a dealer closer to my home, they tell me that the car have a problem and they need to keed the vehicle. After they tell me that i have to paid because for the repairs about 1600.00because of this problem i don't have a car and i'm about to loss my job. This car has been a nightmare. I ask the dealer to please to take back the car.i also ask chevrolet corporation but not answer has been taken, this cause me to loss my jod snd created many problem to me and my family. The vehicle still on the shop for the last two weeks and they trll mr that maybe take longer.cause they don't have the part and that is on back order.
'shift to park' problem the car won't shutdown
Vehicle gives a "shift to park" message when it is already in park and i am attempting to turn it off.i have to shift the car back into drive or reverse and then shift it back to park many times before it allows me to turn off the vehicle.i took it to be repaired to my local dealership and they replaced the "shifter in-line wire harness jumper", as indicated on my invoice.two days later, i am having the same problems again.
After shifting to park and pushing the power button to turn the car off, i get the message "shift to park.", and the car will not turn off.it does not recognize that the car is in park.the car was stationary.the chevy dealer fixed the problem in october of 2019 and it worked until recently.
"shift to park" warning alert issued when shifter is already in park. This issue occurs intermittently at least 3x a day. Wiggling and/or reshifting to park sometimes resolves the issue. More effort and time to "play" with the shifter is required in the last month to make the warning go away. Online research resulted in multiple reports including videos on the issue with the shifter assy. This issue started occurring when the car was 1.5years old. This issue seems to be systemic with other similar gm models. Please consider issuing recall to fix this issue. Thank you.
Whenever i put my vehicle in park and turn if off, the screen on the dash will say "please shift to park." i will turn on my vehicle and then shift it to park again and turn it off. Sometimes it will stop notifying me after one time and other times i will have to turn it off and shift it to park, even though its in park, several times. The car will not turn off and i cannot leave the vehicle until it stops notifying me.

Car will not shift to park. Will not allow the car to be turned off.
The contact owns a 2018 chevrolet volt. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle jerked forward violently, slowed down to 45 mph, and then stalled. Also, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact immediately powered off the engine in the middle of traffic. The vehicle was pushed over to the side of the road by the police and towed to maher chevrolet (located at 2901 34th st n, st petersburg, fl 33713). The dealer found several failure codes and the transmission fluid pump outlet seal, internal filter, and spacer plate were all replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 9-5251855943. The approximate failure mileage was 12,125.
Car is consistently making a burning smell and the dealer is refusing to acknowledge it.i went there 2000 miles ago, they claimed it was a break in smell.the smell is still there and once again they are calling it a break in smell.i mean the car has 8400 miles.how long does it have to break in for?nhtsa, please step in and help us.gm is creating this possible fire hazard and their franchises are not helping.
While driving the vehicle at around 60 mph, the 'check engine' light came on and a message saying 'shift to park' appears on the dashboard. Once the vehicle was stopped at the traffic light, the driver shifted to park and was not able to pull down to drive again. Vehicle was stranded in the middle of the road while cars were approaching from behind with high speed. After repeated attempts to press the vehicle 'start' button, we finally were able to pull down to neutral and pushed the vehicle to the side of the road. Vehicle needed to be towed to dealership for diagnosis.

When my gas engine is warmed up and up to operating temperature, there would be this burnt plastic smell coming from under the hood.it's been happening like this for the past 3000 miles or so.it's a clear burnt plastic smell from under the hood, and it is always after the engine is completely warmed up.i use my gas engine all the time.the dealership claims it is normal for hybrid to burn stuff off as it isn't run all the time, but the car has 6700 miles.it's a stretch to blame it on break in oil.some of the smell gets into the cabin when i am stopped, but it is very strong when i get out the car and walk by.it's been happening for a few months now.
General:when i would shift to park, the display would indicate i was in park, but the car would not turn off.i sometimes had to spend 10 minutes trying.the safety issue was if the car is left on itbecause the engine system would not recognize park, it could run from gas and create deadly fumes.1. Shift stick and harness.i do not have the part. 2. Confirmed by dealer and part replaced. $491.33 3. Unsure if it was inspected.google search has multiple listings for this issue 4. No warnings, no lamps prior to.warning message when shifted to park and trying to turn off.

Shift to park issue.when the car is in park the car still reports shift to park when you try to turn it off.
When i shut down power in park on my 2018 chevy volt (the car is stationary) the car will not completely shut down and the dashboard displays "shift to park".essentially, the car is not recognizing that the car is already in park.i can not walk away fro my car because it remains on.it takes multiple attempts until it ultimately will shut off. This has been a common issue as reported by other chevy owners.
Car sends notification to "shift to park" when shifter is in the park position and gear selection indicator display indicates "p". Car will not shut down until shift to park condition has been satisfied by finessing the shifter. This is an issue of safety because the car cannot be turned off.

When attempting to turn off car after driving and after shifting the car into park, a message appears on the screen to shift the car to park. Even though the car is already in park the message remains, and the car won't turn off, or will only turn off after repeated attempts at shifting the car out of and back into park.
The contact owns a 2018 chevrolet volt. The contact stated that while the gear shifter was in park, the shift to park warning light illuminated and the vehicle failed to turn off or change gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the gear shifter assembly mechanism failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 28,995.

When you put the car in park, the engine would not shut off and the car kept sending a message that i needed to shift to park, but i already was in park.i shifted in and out of park to drive to reverse, but every time it went back to park it said i needed to shift to park. I was in my garage, could not leave the car running all night as the battery would be dead by morning, but couldn't shut it off either.i drove it immediately to the dealership and they reproduced and confirmed the problem, repaired it on tuesday. Fortunately, i was at home, but had i been anywhere my safety and others could have been at risk, becausei could have been in an unsafe place late at night, unable to shut my car off and/or get out of my own car.you are unable to put gas in a running vehicle, and i could have been stranded.my car is repaired but according to the internet there is a class action lawsuit over this very thing in texas filed several years ago.this same problem has happened to thousands of gm cars, and it is my understanding that second and third replacements of gear shifter are not covered by warranty and it is a $500 repair.gear shifters have been in cars since they were first invented.this should be a recall and gm forced to create a new shifter and replace the old ones.this is not a new technology. There are 8,500,000 discussions and comments on the internet about this situation.
Car will not shift to park. Will not allow the car to be turned off.
Shift to park issue, not allowing car to shut off.
"shift to park" displays on the screen even though the car is already in park. Electric motor will not shut off. And now the shifter doesn't work at all. When put into drive or reverse there is no power to the wheels. The vehicle is stationary when this happens because i was parking the car.
I keep getting a shift to park message when i place the vehicle in park. I have to continuously take the vehicle out of park and put it back in a few times until it finally works otherwise i cannot turn off the vehicle. This is a huge issue that needs to be recalled immediately.

When shutting down the chevy bolt ev, the car is shifted into park, and with foot on the brake, the power button is pushed to shut down the power...but wit some regularity the car won't shut down and gives a "shift to park" message, even though it is in park.this is a safety hazard, because at times the car simply can't be turned off, meaning the driver can't exit the car and leave it behind. The problem is intermittent. I've experienced it many times.the problem is also apparently common, as there are hundreds of complaints about this problem on the internet (search volt shift to park).please ask gm to fix this problem.
Will not shut off when transmission shifted to park.

I was driving my car on freeway at 65 mph and suddenly car displayed warning on dash board to shift the car in park position. Car immediately lost power from engine. I had to immediately pull over car from left most lane to buffer lane between freeway and exit.my move until it had momentum. But them it stopped on freeway. After stopping car,it did not start or stop engine. It displayed check engine light. While restarting car, it keep displaying "initializing" and immediately system reboot by itself. Car did not start at all and eventually car had to be towed to dealership.chevrolet dealer could not identify root cause and reported the issue is fixed. After five days, exactly same error occurred again on the freeway. At this time, with help from onstar, multiple error code were retrieved and they were related to failure in hybrid power train system.above two incidents were quite riskier as car lost engine power on busy freeway. It could have serious collision. Also, incident occur on almost newly leased car.

Gen 2 volt has a paddle on the steering columnthat brakes the vehicle and adds some charge to the main battery. (part of thr regen system) since it brakes the vehicle i believe that thebrake lights should illuminate , they don't . In the owners it states that the "brake lights may come on"... May???..... I had the vehicle in the dealership for 2 days. The bcm was changed and that was suppose to fix the issue, it did not.iand other volt form members feel this an unsafe condition. 17/2018
After fully charged my car, i pulled out of the parking garage and into an available parking stall at work on friday january 24th 2020 at approximately 1:50pm. I let my car cruise into the stall while my foot is covering the brakes.halfway into the parking stall, the car accelerated on its own. I applied the brakes but did not help.it stopped only when it jumped the front concrete stall with 2 front wheels and hit the trees then rolled back.i then immediately shift the gear to park.the day was sunny and road condition was dry.i was fortunate that it hit the trees and not other cars if i were to take this out on the road.the attached pictures shows tire marks as i am trying to brake and the tire wears.
I ran into a vehicle in front of me during normal traffic on my way home from work, two months to the day of picking up my 2018 volt.the vehicle ahead of me may have stopped quickly, but it was not a stop the volt shouldn't have been able to handle.i was on a street in my neighborhood i drive every day in traffic.i hadmentioned to friends and family that the volt's brakes just did not feel on par with the rest of the car and would be the only aspect of this ev experience i found lacking.i have the dated text messages to prove this.now i have a volt at the body shop for the 5th week (lacking an ac line for reassembly), an over 55% increase in my insurance premiums (per the renewal notice i just received) and what really hasn't been a good experience.while i'm waiting for the return of my volt i have received the important safety recall indicating the braking performance may be reduced.if the car had been able to stop two feet shorter i'd have an undamaged three month old volt and my insurance standings untarnished.that two feet ended up costing over $17,500 to the car.turns out volts are also expensive to repair.i'm a 55 year old male, no wild kid.still stuns me that in 2018 gm can't get brakes right...the most important of safety systems.
Collision occurred on e denny way in seattle, approx 3:20 pm on a downhill slope in stop-and-go traffic after about 20 minutes of constant brake use to hold back the car. About 2/3 of the way downhill the brakes failed, no resistance whatsoever and the car rolled into the vehicle in front, a distance of about 15 feet.this was a one-off incident and did not recur so far. Gmand 3rd party inspectors found no error codes, but the brakes indeed failed, which makes me suspect a design problem in the brake-by-wire system that controls the pedal pressure and modulated regenerative braking. It was like sliding on ice, no traction whatsoever.
Loss of power steering while driving. Error message on dash as well. Very difficult to turn and not possible to make a quick avoidance. Had to have car towed to the dealership. Dealership found dtc error code but could not duplicate the power steering loss. Dealership did not replace or fix anything as of now.
Power steering failed while driving into baltimore city on i-95. Was able to control the vehicle without power steering but it was difficult. The power returned at the end of the work day after the vehicle did not move all day. Took the vehicle to the dealer. The dealership said it found "scan code c056d found bulletin 18-na-313".

Chevrolet volt cannot be driven in deep snow.the car was driven in snow at a speed of one mile per hour covering 6 miles in 6 hours after first snow in nyc nov 15, 2018. The protectiveunder carriage panel that covers the electrical and tubing becomes brittle and breaks away when impacted.

When trying to turn the car off, the instrument panel will say "shift to park" even though the car is already in park.then, the car will not turn off.this has happened multiple times, over many days, when the car is stationary, in any location, when you are attempting to turn the car off.

Over the last month (starting around july 6 but continuing today), when i shift my car to park and attempt to turn it off, my volt displays the message "shift to park" and will not fully turn off.this results in me not being able to lock my car and the lights stay on.the message appears randomly about 50-75% of my attempts to turn off the car.the car is always stationary of course and in park.to fix it, i will depress the shifter button a few times...or hit the ignition button again, shift to drive, and back to park.i may have to do these several times to eventually get it to stop displaying that message and fully turn off.i've heard that over time, those fixes won't work and the car just will not shut down properly.online, i see that many people have this issue with gen 2 volts.even when they get the shifter assembly replaced by chevy, after some time, the issue comes back again.could this shifter assembly be recalled since it is such a known issue and continues to cause problems?thank you!
Chevrolet volt cannot be driven in deep snow.the car was driven in snow at a speed of one mile per hour covering 6 miles in 6 hours after first snow in nyc nov 15, 2018. The protectiveunder carriage panel that covers the electrical and tubing becomes brittle and breaks away when impacted.
Android auto is less safe than using a phone on the dash. It is very buggy, always laggy. Today it was unresponsive for an entire hour. Even after rebooting the phone and the car while traffic was stopped it would not come back. When it does work it is so slow it is a distraction.the voice commands as completely unreliable. They only work half the time at best. This forces you to touch the screen and try those commands which are also unreliable.the update in august of 2019 did not make anything better. Please do not trust anyone's lives to a google automated car until they can get such a simple piece of software as android auto to function at an automotive level of reliability and safety. This includes not letting the cars on the roads to endanger other people. It doesn't matter if the car is stationary, on city streets or the highway.
Chevrolet service case [xxx]5/20/19 for same issue described belowservice at victor chevroletvictor chevrolet replaced brake calipersproblem was minimized for a short time.8/27/19 -- brought the vehicle to victor chevrolet for the second time for the same problem * clunk in rear of car as it stops. Previously, the problem started small and got progressively worse with time. The clunk moves the car slightly forward; it moves more as the problem worsens. * car has 6700 miles now. It had about 4500 miles last time (victor chevy can confirm or correct)8/30/19 -- called victor chevrolet service. Nikki told me that they tested another volt and it has the same issue, so this isn't a problem. I said it becomes progressively worse, and needs be fixed, as it is a safety issue. At the very least, i ought never to have to pay for fixing the issue or related problems regardless of the status of my warranty.nikki said i need to call and talk to service manager (gary). I said he needs to research and give me more information; i will call chevy meanwhile and consult with them.8/30/19 -- called chevy (c/s) 800 888 1020 -- julian will escalate to senior advisor team.they say two business days. That means wednesday. Today is friday.case number [xxx]goals: 1) keep communication in writing as much as possible so no misunderstandings2) fix the issue. Sounds like maybe there is a recall needed if many volts have the same problem. Perhaps chevy corporate can research the problem and minimize trips to service (ugh. Such a hassle to drop off a car)3) if issue can't be fixed, obtain in writing from chevy a waiver so that any future repairs directly or indirectly related to this problem are warranty coveredinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Car will not turn off after being put in park and power button pushed to off.the displays reads "put car in park to turn off", but the car is already in park. The local chevrolet dealer said the gear assembly needs to be replaced.
After fully charged my car, i pulled out of the parking garage and into an available parking stall at work on friday january 24th 2020 at approximately 1:50pm. I let my car cruise into the stall while my foot is covering the brakes.halfway into the parking stall, the car accelerated on its own. I applied the brakes but did not help.it stopped only when it jumped the front concrete stall with 2 front wheels and hit the trees then rolled back.i then immediately shift the gear to park.the day was sunny and road condition was dry.i was fortunate that it hit the trees and not other cars if i were to take this out on the road.the attached pictures shows tire marks as i am trying to brake and the tire wears.
