NHTSA Complaint #11372416 — 2013 CHEVROLET VOLT

ON CITY STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY, WHEN INCREASING OR DECREASING SPEED THE DRIVE MOTOR STATOR/ROTARY BEARING MAKES A CHAINSAW TYPE SOUND INDICATINGTHE BEARING AND COVERS FAILURE. THERE IS ALREADY A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS VOLT HAS LOW MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE MY $1400 EXPENSE TO REPAIR WHEN THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE THE BREAK DOWN OF THE BEARING WILL EVENTUALLY STOP THE VEHICLES FUNCTION AT AN UNKNOWN TIME.
