Wheels: Original equipment tire with 5/32 tread, about 58,000 miles, noticed reduced tire pressure 3/15/16, filled tire; filled again 3/18/16 twice, about an hour apart, became totally flat. Side of tire, two repair facilties indicate it can not be repaired. Have rest of original equipment tires on car, were very recently rotated, and tire pressure checked before 3/15/16. Thought it may have been vandalized, dealer in middleton says it was not. All tires on care are original equipment. Loss of tire pressure began while stationery, filled tire, but did not hold air whether in motion, being driven on highway or city street. Is at a dealership in middleton, wi now. I purchased the 2012 Volt in 2/2013, never titled, from a dealer in elk city, ok after much research. In reading about Volt, there was no information about a back up camera. The car really needs a back up camera; I have hit another car parked on my own driveway while backing out, and in January 2016 I hit a moving SUV at best buy parking lot, delafield, wi. Person driving his car said he did not look for back up lights for break lights, I had checked to see if car may be approaching and did not see SUV. I filed with the dot, wi, since it was likely if police were called it would be stated it was a private lot. I have also had my car towed, the black rubber front that is flexible is easily damaged, and especially by a tow truck but can be easily damaged in winter with snow/ice, or generally in parking lots if there are concrete guides to stop car when pulling into spot.
