NHTSA Complaint #11100182 — 2014 CHEVROLET VOLT

ON JUNE 4, 2018 I WAS DRIVING WITH 4 MILES LEFT OF ELECTRICITY POWER, ONCE I RAN OUT OF ELECTRICITY IT SWITCHED OVER TO THE GASOLINE TANK WHICH WAS HALF FULL. ONCE THIS SWITCH OCCURED I RECEIVED THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT READ "PROPULSION POWER REDUCED" AND "ENGINE NOT AVAILABLE, SERVICE SOON". I WAS DRVING ON A REGULAR FLAT STREET (NO STEEP HILLS) FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES THEN WENT INTO FREEWAY. ONCE IN THE FREEWAY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY GIVING ME JUST ENOUGHT TIME TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER LANE. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT WHICH IN PART WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS ALREADY ON THE RIGHT LANE, BUT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE LEFT LANE I CAN GUARANTEE I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER LANE. PRIOR TO THIS I HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. ON MARCH 26, 2018 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WERE IT WAS PURCHASED FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR A COMPLETE CHECK AND ALL RESULTS WERE NORMAL.
