NHTSA Complaint #10609759 — 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT

DRIVING ON BUSY FREEWAY WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE START BUTTON ON MY VOLT. THE CAR SHUT OFF AT 65 MPH AND WHEN I REALIZED WHAT I HAD DONE I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE BUTTON AGAIN WHICH PUT THE CAR IN MAINTENANCE. MODE, LEAVING MY WIFE AND I TO NAVIGATE TO THE RIGHT BURM THROUGH SEVERAL LANES OF HEAVY HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, WITH NO POWER. YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR FOOT ON AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE TO RESTART. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE BURM SAFELY. OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. I REPORTED THIS ON THE VOLT WEBSITE PHONE NUMBER AND NEVER HEARD ANYTHING. DO TO GM'S RECENT IGNITION SWITCH RECALLS AND RESULTING DEATHS. I FEEL IT NECESSARY TO REPORT THIS. I HOPE THIS LETTER MY SAVE LIVES. I LIVED THROUGH THE FORD PINTO COVER UP. I SOLD THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO. *TR
