Consumer Description

WAS ENTERING HIGHWAY IN THE DARK AND WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO "HOLD" MODE TO RUN THE GAS ENGINE AND SAVE BATTERY CHARGE. THIS REQUIRES PUSHING A BUTTON 3 TIMES. I REACHED OVER AND PUSHED THE BUTTON. ACCIDENTLY WAS PUSHING THE "POWER" BUTTON WHICH IS RIGHT BELOW THE "MODE" BUTTON SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR. THE ENTIRE CAR SHUTS OFF, NO LIGHTS, POWERTRAIN, PS, PB JUST DEAD. THIS IS EASY TO DO IF YOU ARE WATCHING THE ROAD AND JUST GLANCE DOWN TO THE BUTTONS. THEY ARE PLACED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IN TRAFFIC OR ON WINDING ROADS. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ON THE VOLT FORUM! *TR
