So I just found my old unprogramed key fob does anyone want it it's for a gen 1.

Sorry, I'm having a heck of a time trying to find what exactly the "Emission Select Component Ltd Wty" covers...

According to the Chevy website, my car (2017 Premiere Volt, bought in MD) has this warranty, but yesterday I had to pay to get my EGR Valve replaced since according to "the system" the EGR Valve is only covered by the "Emission Limited Warranty" (which has expired....).

If anyone can point to site/resource that actually lists what the "Emission Select Component Ltd Wty" covers, I'd appreciate it.... The Chevy website just runs me in circles....

Anyone with gen2 volts running 16 inch wheels?

Installing some winters on a 16” wheel this weekend and what to know if there is anything I need to lookout for.

Thanks!

I am looking for a smaller plug in. Smaller commute to school… but I also love to drive with my friends. I found a 2015 Chevrolet Volt that I absolutely LOVE but I have seen some concerning reliability issues. It has 135k miles? What should I be worried about, even when looking for other Volts? Thanks!

I started my car no problem leaving from work, stopped at a gas station with my car still running on battery with 10 miles left.

I come back to my car with a "propulsion power reduced" error with my battery showing 0 miles and engine light on. I restart my car with my battery level back to 10 miles. But my engine light is permanently on. I switched to hold mode and drove home without issue. And now it is setting on the charger.

Anyone have an idea what happened to my volt and if it's something I should be worried about? I've owned it for 3 years and never had this happen to me.

Yeah it's been one of those weeks lol. Any ideas guys

So who can guess which tyre the “experts” worked on ? 🤔

I have a 2013 Volt with a low headlight. I have seen a Reddit post that recommended Auxito, but has anyone used this. Unsure when Auxito will deliver to my island in Canada and this is some bit cheaper also.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

Gen 2 Volt, 120V charger. By seeming magic, my teen pulled the charge off of the wall and the cable clean off the charger body and has no earthly idea how it could have possible happened. Regardless, I checked the charger and handle and everything checks out, but I would like change the cable anyway. That much tension makes it too sketchy to reuse for my taste. Maybe I'll add a break away this time in case of another 'magical occurrence'. I can't find anyone that sells the e325807 cable in lengths >100 miles.

Does anyone know what replacement cable works?

I got this on a road trip while running on ICE w/ 0 battery. I think it's probably because I went to a slight incline. I put it in mountain mode for the rest of the trip and had no issues. I got it home and fully charged (at least twice) over the past few days but I still have the error and CEL. I notice no difference in driving and when I floor it I hit 125+ kW and it accelerates as it should. I already had BECM fixed.

Shoud I bring this in? I did not have a great experience at the dealership repair center last time. I suppose I could try disconnecting the 12v and see if it resets the error.

2017, 140k miles. 11.5 kWh for a full charge, which is roughly what it's been for the past couple months. That's about 20% degradation. I can't hate on it too much for basically 100% freeway commute and using the entire battery every time for 6 years.

I was greeted by the following this morning when I got in my car.

I had to get to work so I didn't have time to use my obdii scanner to check the code.

Does this look like the BECM issue?

Hey everyone,

I've been getting these two codes (P040E - Exhaust Temperature Sensor Intermittent/Erratic and P1429 - EGR Temperature Sensor 2 Not Plausible) for a few months now and I'm finally in a position to get them fixed (emissions coming due is helping light that proverbial fire under my proverbial ass). I'm only an amateur mechanic, so I want to be relatively sure I know what's up before I start buying parts. Is this something I can fix myself or do I have to bring it to the dealer for a software update or something?

Been a very happy owner of a 2013 Chevy Volt. Got it at around 30k miles and currently at 137k miles with no huge maintenance costs.

I just got tires rotated and alignment done, and got a note that break pads still look good. I've never gotten new ones and I'm confident the previous owner never did. I would assume regenerative braking would extend the life of pads, but does this seem normal for gen 1 Volt?

I was thinking even if the pads are still pretty good to maybe replace them to be good for another 130k+ miles (not planning on getting rid of this for at least another 3 years and probably run it until the battery stops charging). Anyone have thoughts on this, or any recommended brake pads?

Today, after eight months, the EGR for my 2017 arrived! While I’m thankful for the excellent service center at my local dealership, I am beyond disappointed in GM’s handling of this issue. Up until this point, my Volt has been nearly flawless, always fun-to-drive, and very efficient.

by habit I leave the car plugged in at home but I have it set to not charge until late in the evening when I have special utility rates. Does it utilize the power from the wall in some other way even though it's not actively charging? Maybe to heat the battery?

I am following this great guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/volt/comments/krimau/no_heat_in_electric_or_ice_mode_resolved/

I do have heat going to the heater core. There is a clicking sound when trying to turn on the heat but no heat comes and it indicates that the AC is still on.

I am thinking it is the blend door actuator they indicate. I can easily find the part, however I cannot seem to find a guide or diagram as to where it is/how to replace it.

I am hoping someone else has this information to share?

I just got my 2016 back from a body shop where they replaced the front bumper and grill. On the invoice it shows they also replaced the radiator and AC compressor - not sure if this is a factor - but now when I charge the cooling fan is so loud! It was never this way before.

It’s currently dark and 63 degrees and it’s so loud my wife and kids told me I must have left my car running.

What should I have the body shop look at if I take it back in? Is there some sensor that might be bad?

After having a used 2012 Chevy Impala since the beginning of 2013 with 40k miles, it has finally started having a few issues that require me sinking money into to where it is not worth it anymore. Plus, it only gets 23 mpg. So after 11 years and only putting 46k more miles on it, I decided it was time for something else.

I wanted a hybrid as the infrastructure just isn't there for me yet. The Volt was actually talked up to me by an owner about 3 years ago, but there was nothing wrong with my car, plus I enjoyed having no car payment.

I finally found a blue on Carvana and decided to go for it. Carmax had very few Volts, but did offer me 3k as a trade-in. Carvana on the other hand, had many more, plus one in blue, and offered me $2200 for my car. I went with Carvana and grabbed a blue 2018 Volt LT with 64600 miles on it, no recalls according to VIN search from the NHTSA, and a clean Carfax. It had a few upgrades I wasn't planning on such as the 8-Bose speakers and leather interior.

I bought it on the 25th, and picked it up today (30th). It actually didn't come with a charger, but Carvana went ahead and added an after market one from Megear that I'll have to research.

Brakes seems snappy, car wasn't charged, and I'm still figuring out how to pair my iPhone to the console so I can use my Google Maps navigation.

I already have an appointment tomorrow to get a PPI done at a Chevy dealership as I've read certain horror stories from Carvana. After that, I'll get it detailed.

I did buy the premium CarvanaCare as I plan to have this vehicle for a while, and I've already researched the EGR, BECM, STP, Rear Seat Belt Detractors, Rear Brake Caliper Pistons, and the possible Emission Pipe rubbing against the A/C Hose Connector issues.

Anything you guys recommend for a first time owner who hopes to keep this car for quite a few years? Cheers.

2013, 130k km. On flat ground cruise control on a road I take all the time my car started to switch to the gas engine while I have charge? What's going on?

I drive a 2017 Volt. Woke up this morning to find my screen off with audio off.
A few minute later this display appears.

A few years ago (2 to 3) my screen went dark and changing the 12 volt battery fixed it.

But this display never appeared.

Has anyone experienced this before and what is the solution?

I’m going on a week long trip next month and just wanted to ask y’all if it’s better to leave the vehicle plugged in the entire time or have it unplugged. Not sure if there’s any consequences to leaving it plugged for a week, right? Thank you all

It's a blizzard out and I'm trying to unplug the EGR valve so I can drive home. Is there a technique to unplug it or an I just very weak with cold hands?

In my 2018 Premier, my front and rear parking assist doesn't seem to be working. I don't mean the auto park function (although that also doesn't work) I mean just the sensors to tell you you're getting close to an object and shows a display on your dash.

If I press the button (The one that looks like it has a little pylon on it) it will not light up. Pretty sure this is why the auto park function is not working either.

I cannot see anything in the manual on how to check the system or why it's not working. I have looked online but the answers vary so greatly.

Has anyone experienced this and what did you do if you were able to correct it?

All sensors and camera are clean (one front sensor does have a small stone chip). Is there a way to test these?

Thanks

Hey all, I’m a long time observer, first time poster (go easy on me :)). I have a Gen1 Volt (2013 Premier) that I am looking to sell within the next year and wanted to get some feedback from you knowledgeable folks on potential market value. Quick note: I love the car, but keep having kids and unfortunately am growing out of its size. I know, I know - get an outdoor hobby.

The car has 66K miles on it and overall is in great shape with no exterior damage/blemishes aside from some curb rash on the wheels and no interior damage. My grandfather bought the car new in 2013 and hardly drove it before gifting to me in 2020; so it is a 2-owner car, all within the same family. I still get anywhere between 30-40 battery miles on a charge depending on weather/temp and type of driving.

I have not seen many comps of a Gen1/2013 with this few miles so wanted to get a pulse on what everyone thinks a fair price would be (from a buyer’s perspective). The car has spent its whole life in the beautiful Pacific NW so no extreme weather conditions.

My original gut check price based on what I’ve seen in the market (at least here in the PNW) is up to $10K asking price. Hoping someone who may have recently sold a Gen1 has some insight and/or advice.

Thanks in advance for any input supplied!
