2012 CHEVROLET VOLT Vehicle Speed Control Problems

I'm constantly receiving a "Propulsion Power Loss" notification on my car. I have brought the car in to a Chevrolet dealer and they refuse to fix it unless I start paying out of pocket costs because the ticket is "closed". This has been going on for about a year since I purchased the car last November and I'm terrified to drive this car since it literally looses power.

LCD Driver panel, fuel,odometer, speedometer, screen is completely black. Started flickering then went out. No warnings given. I have no idea how fast I am going nor how much gas/ battery power I have.

My instruments cluster that displays speedometer/fuel/battery charge indicator went absolutely blank while vehicle was in motion on busy highway. Only remedy recommend by Chevy dealer was to replace the entire assembly and reprogramming. I feel failure of essential display of basic functions to the driver is definitely a hazard to the vehicle operator and to the general public.

BREAKS FAILED WHILE DRIVING 25-30 MPH ON WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD . THERE WAS NO WARNING , CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE DOWNHILL GRADUALLY . AFTER ABOUT 0.3 MILES I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY PUSH EMERGENCY BREAKS (IT'S A BUTTON AND DIDN'T WORK AT FIRST ) GET TO MORE FLAT ROAD AND STOPED THE CAR BY DRIVING ON GRAVEL AND DRY BRUSH . VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ITS POWER ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES LATER . EMERGENCY LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK . CHP ASSISTED US AS CAR WAS ABANDONED IN THE MIDDLE OF MOUNTAIN ROAD , BLOCKING THE WHOLE LINE . GM HAS NOT OFFERED ANY EXPLANATION YET .

I WAS DRIVING IN 50 MPH TRAFFIC IT LOST ALL PROPULSION. THE PROBLEM I HAVE SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE PROBLEM GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR WITH 2013-2015 VOLTS. I BELIEVE GM DID OR SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING. GM PROGRAM N172130462 HAS OWNERS OF 2013-2015 VOLTS BRINGING THEIR CARS IN TO DEALERSHIPS FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE. GM HAS RECOGNIZED THAT THESE CARS "MAY HAVE A CONDITION WHERE IT COULD GRADUALLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN VOLTAGE. IF BATTERY CONCERNS ARE NOT ADDRESSED, OVER TIME THE VEHICLE COULD ENTER A REDUCED PROPULSION MODE WHILE DRIVING, OR LOSE PROPULSION, OR IT MAY NOT START." I BROUGHT MY VOLT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON JANUARY 31, 2019, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CONSISTENTLY HOLDING THE CHARGE THAT IT NORMALLY DID AND THE CAR WOULD OFTEN START IN "LOW PROPULSION MODE" WHEN STARTING IT AFTER TURNING IT OFF WITH THE BATTERY...

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS GONE COMPLETELY BLANK IN THE CAR. IT WENT IN AND OFF FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN DIED COMPLETELY.THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD AS I DONT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING OR THE GAS AMOUNT I HAVE IN THE CAR. THIS WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPEN NOT KNOWING IF THE ENTIRE CAR WAS GOING TO BLACK OUT VERY SCARY MOMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET VOLT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THE BILL ROBERTS CHEVROLET BUICK, INC DEALER LOCATED AT 301 W BROADWAY ST, BOLIVAR, MO 65613 STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

THE SPEED CONTROL WOULD STICK ON DURING VERY COLD WEATHER. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE TO MY WIFE. SHE RODE THE BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN BUT THE CAR KEPT FIGHTING THE BRAKE. THIS WAS CITY DRIVING, IN APPLETON, WI.

UNEXPECTEDLY, GENERALLY ON UNEVEN STREET/ROADWAY, HILLY THE BRAKES DO NOT IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE AND WILL CREATE A FEELING THAT YOU MANY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP AND/OR STEER, OR KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. AFTER TAKING THE AUTOMOBILE TO A DEALER ABOUT FOUR TIMES, IT WAS DETERMINED JULY 2014 THAT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR WAS AND STILL IS UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS ALSO COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED ELECTRIC CAR WARRANTY. BRAKE PROBLEMS HAVE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY; ARE AUTO SAFETY ISSUE. THE LAST TWO TIMES I HAVE NOT REPORTED TO THE DEALER, OR VOLT ADVISOR. THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR WAS INCORRECT ABOUT HOW REGENERATIVE BRAKES WORK IN ELECTRIC CAR. THE BLIND SPOT IS EXCESSIVE FOR BACKING UP, AND EVERY VOLT SHOULD HAVE HAD A BACK UP CAMERA AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT, AND BUMPERS THAT HAD CRASH TEST STANDARDS, BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF OPTIONS WHEN CAR...

2012 CHEVROLET VOLT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE FAILURE AND VEHICLE ACCELERATION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE HAD AN ACCIDENT. SHE STATED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, AND APPLYING THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS TRYING TO PARK DOING BETWEEN 8-10 MPH, WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. HIS WIFE DAMAGED TWO OTHER VEHICLES, AND HER VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, HE STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND A DASH LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL READ BOOSTER BRAKE NEEDS SERVICE.
