NHTSA Complaint #10851456 — 2013 CHEVROLET VOLT

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD IN INDIANAPOLIS AT 35 MILES PER HOUR, MY CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND A MESSAGE READING " ENGINE NOT AVAILABLE - SERVICE SOON" APPEARED ON MY HUD. MY CAR ONLY HAS 32,800 MILES ON IT AND A CLEAN TITLE. NOTHING ABOUT MY DRIVING CHANGED TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE, IT WAS SUDDEN AND WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSE. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC, AND GM JUST RESET THE CODES. IT IS DRIVING OK FOR NOW, BUT A RESET OF CODES IS A TEMPORARY FIX TO THE ISSUE, AND I'VE READ EXTENSIVELY ABOUT MANY, MANY OTHER VOLT OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE YOUR ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGH WAY DURING RUSH HOUR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS LOOKED INTO, AND I FEEL THAT GM IS TRYING TO BURY IT WITH RESETS WHICH AREN'T WORKING FOR MOST PEOPLE.
