Consumer Description
I was making a left turn at a light and the vehicle suddenly popped up “shift to park” warning on the dash and simultaneously lost power. The vehicle would only roll under what momentum was generated prior to the warning. Luckily I was able to get through the turn and coast safely off to the side of the road. Chevy volt is currently at the dealership being assessed. They are telling me I will need a new 12v battery and new gear shifter for $1100.00. These were replaced, but the dealership called and told me I will now need a new ECM, or something like that, for an additional $2400.00. Car is currently at Ricart Chevrolet in Dublin,OH waiting on my decision. And I’m being told the part needed is on backorder and may be a month to arrive. After researching this, it seems Chevy knows about this issue and seems very irresponsible to knowingly put volt owners in harms way. Needless to say I’m not happy and feel something should be done by Chevy to rectify the situation.
