NHTSA Complaint #10937365 — 2013 CHEVROLET VOLT

NO SIGNAL AT FUSE BLOCK FOR RAP RELAY. ALL ELECTRICAL PORTS WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL AND TOT HE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASH, THERE WAS A FREQUENT CLICKING OF THE RELAY SWITCH CLICKING ON AND OFF. WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED A PUNCTURE IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE RESULTING IN RAPID DEFLATING OF THE TIRE. AS I WAS AT THE APEX OF A BRIDGE, I SLOWED AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE BRIDGE TO THE SHOULDER (BRIDGE HAS NO SAFETY LANE OR SHOULDER) BEFORE THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. IN THE DRIZZLING RAIN I REMEMBERED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A SPARE OR A DOUGHNUT, BUT AN EMERGENCY TIRE REPAIR INFLATOR. THAT DIDN'T WORK AS IT NEEDED POWER FROM ANY OF THE NON-FUNCTIONING PORTS. TRYING TO INFLATE THE TIRE IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE NON-FUNCTIONING PORTS AND THE CLICKING NOISE HAD STARTED SHORTLY BEFORE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.
