Consumer Description

WE'VE HAD A TOTAL OF THREE CHEVY VOLTS. TWO HAVE BEEN GREAT, BUT THE 2017 VOLT WE GOT IN FEBRUARY 2017 HAS BEEN AWFUL -- THE CAR COMPLETELY LOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AND SURFACE STREETS. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, I DON'T MEAN THE CAR WAS OUT OF ELECTRICITY OR OUT OF GAS (EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR HAD BOTH). WE WILL BE DRIVING ALONG WHEN, OUT OF THE BLUE, THE CAR SIMPLY JUST STOPS RUNNING, LEAVING US TO DO OUR BEST TO GET IT OUT OF THE ROADWAY WITHOUT GETTING HIT. THE CAR (WHICH ONLY HAS ABOUT 1,000 MILES ON IT) HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. WE HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED BY HOW BOTH GM AND THE DEALER HAVE BEEN HANDLING THE SITUATION.
