1. Propulsion Power Reduced -AGAIN. We have had this repaired recently & it-€™s back. Apparently it-€™s -€œnot a problem-€ as long as check engine light is not on. Unfortunately, the engine light is on AGAIN - despite being reset. The car is not accelerating when needed. 2. -€œBrake Assist-€ light is on AGAIN- and I do not have power brakes. It is hard to stop. Could we at minimum get accurate warning systems & repairs that work? 2.

Car suddenly lost ability to accelerate normally while driving. It could only accelerate extremely slowly, seemingly with great effort. It displayed -€œPROPULSION POWER REDUCED SERVICE ENGINE SOON-€ and ENGINE NOT AVAILABLE-€ messages on the dashboard, and a check engine light came on. It sounds like it may be related to current GM recall 18215/ NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V397000, but nothing comes up when I search for this VIN.

The car-€™s hybrid battery shut down the car in the middle of the road. I was unable to turn it back on safely.

I was driving through the grapevine and my car was losing propulsion. I had to drive in the slow lane with the semi-trucks. The semi trucks had to go around me. I am nervous about driving my car on a road trip to North Cal. I am not sure if that is normal, but I don't think so. The airbag light just went on. I am not sure why. My car has also on several occasions lost traction. Has anyone reported these problems before?

When Im driving on the hi way, it sounds like it keeps accelerating, sounds like its going to explode. The pulsation warning comes on, then the pulsation warning will go away and the sound goes away.

There is a bearing that fails in the motor which is a safety issue and should be recalled. It causes the engine/transmission to lock up and become inoperable which can result in a crash. They even issued a bulletin regarding it (PIP5081), yet they have been refusing to cover it under warranty for me as well. This needs to be recalled and all affected owners should be reimbursed for any expenses they paid regarding this issue. General Motors must be held accountable for this safety issue. This has been confirmed by the dealer and all of these vehicles are experiencing the issue.

- Kalamazoo, MI, USA

My 2013 Volt has turned off while driving on multiple occasions, usually while on the highway. I have taken it to the Chevy dealer on several occasions and they are unable to find the problem. The vehicle "Propulsion System" warning has come on when the car suddenly decelerated while on the highway and eventually turned off. The vehicle is at the Chevy dealer who tells me they cells were not balanced and is no longer functioning. They are unable to replace the battery because Chevy is not releasing them so now the car is a paperweight in their parkinglot. Stopping on the highway is a serious problem.

Before battery ran out went to gas, I got the Propulsion Power Limited warning on the dash slowed gradually to a halt, next day car is dead, it won't start or change, nothing. Code P0AFA and P1E00. All recalls were done a year before

- Margate, FL, USA

Vehicle has stoped in the middle of the street on several occasions. During this time the vehicle will post an error on the dash screen. This issue happens when the vehicle transitions from electric fuel to gasoline, when the electric fuel is depleted. Chevy refuses to repair or warranty the vehicle, also the dealer refuses to complete the necessary recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle does not return to normal until you turn the vehicle on and off multiple times.

Please see attached document for full description of the un-commanded self acceleration issues in my 2013 Chevy Volt including my contact information. Thank you!

- Oakland, NJ, USA

Three times the vehicle has lost propulsion power resulting in reduced acceleration and no longer starting. It is at a dealership for the third time for repairs. The recall instructions were completed in 2019; however, I continue to have the same problem. The dealer is now just charging me for replacement items (112 Volt battery, cluster) instead of dealing with the actual problem with the voltec battery that is under warranty.

The vehicle airbag service continually goes on while driving and in park. There has been no spills or related issues with the seat but the sensor has obviously malfunctioned.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Volt. The contact stated while driving at 75 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently. The contact pulled over to the side of roadway. Propulsion power reduced was displayed on the instrument panel before the vehicle stalled. After waiting for ten minutes, the vehicle started and operated as intended however, the message remained displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to paradise Chevrolet Cadillac (27360 ynez rd, temecula, ca 92591) however, no assistance was offered. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case number was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000. The consumer has stated that the issue occured once more on July 11 and July 12 of 2020.

This vehicle suddenly looses propulsion while driving and it switches from electric to gas. It has happened more than once, but this last time I was on the highway and almost caused an accident. I took it to a dealer to be repaired but the problem has persisted.

- Ormond Beach, FL, USA

My car had the exact issues that are documented in NHTSA campaign number 18V397000 while driving on the freeway, I got a low propulsion warning when the lithium battery was depleted and switched to engine. Engine was revving very high and almost no acceleration was available. I made it home and car wouldn't restart. 12V battery was dead so I replaced it but still could not start the car.

- Murray, UT, USA

Reduced propulsion warning. Causes car to not go over 40 mph while driving. Covered under voltech warranty but dealers want to charge for the diagnosis. Unfair, as this is a safety concern. I refuse to pay for a warranty diagnosis.

I was driving my 2013 Chevrolet Volt and I received a loss of propulsion message on my dashboard and immediately followed by a check engine light. My car shut down and slowed down on the freeway as I was driving. It was very dangerous because it was also dark. I was able to glide to exit the freeway. My car came to a complete stop in the exit lane of the freeway. I pressed the power button to turn off the car and then I waited about 30 seconds and I turned the power button back on and the car came on as only power mode. I was able to move the car very slowly somewhere more safe. I called tow truck and I towed it to dealership. The Volt was still able to move slowly up the tow truck and when I arrived at the dealership, it was still able to move slowly to the entrance of the service station. Check engine light was on, but loss of propulsion light was gone. Service advisors told me they would fix my car as it was covered under the recall even though my car was salvaged. The estimate was $145. Later on they called me that my car had 8 check engine lights on and that I needed a transmission because their was a whining sound and also loss of propulsion still on. I went to go look at my car a couple days later after I filled a complaint with GM headquarters because this should be covered under the recall. When I went to go check out my vehicle, it was in a worse condition then when I dropped it off. My car would not even turn on. When I pushed the power button, it would say engine not available and it would also say loss of propulsion and check engine light still on. I was not able to move my car and the battery still had 8 miles left. It was weird as to why my car is getting worse while being in the dealer. Dealer told me they are done with the update and in order to diagnose the vehicle, I have to pay $430 and more than likely thousands of dollar to fix it.

Car slowed down and then came to a full stop on side of residential street. Tried to turn off and restart engine to no avail. No power coming from motor

Overall battery life appears to have been reduced from average 38 miles at full charge to 31 miles.

I have had my car for 2 years and have not experienced any issues with the battery or propulsion control system. I got a recall notice to fix "loss of propulsion due to low cell voltage". the service team was very nice, I sat in their waiting room for about two hours. They said it was done so I then went to work for a couple hours. When driving home I get to the point where the initial electrical battery is depleted and then it turns on the gas generator. I immediately get an alert "loss of propulsion" and the car stops accelerating and drives very different. Low acceleration, ac turns off. I make it home and then the charging system says it is not working. I try to turn the car back on and it doesn't let me put it in gear. I called on star and they scheduled a tow truck to come and have it towed back to the dealership. Will let you know how it goes.
