Did you feel better from holding this grudge? Now think about this deeper: what if God held a grudge against us? Wow, how lucky we are that he forgives us for our sins! He leads by example, forgiving those of us that do exactly what he asks us not to do. We all should all be more forgiving, like God is to us. /prayer+ You sent your only son to the world to die so that we may be forgiven, merciful God. Forgive me, once again, for being too selfish and proud to not forgive those that trespass against me. I wish that I can sin less and ask for forgiveness and guidance when I need it. I thank you for sending your son to us, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen..

Actually most times it's the main battery/generator that takes up the most of the cars length size. It's shaped like a giant T with 3 separate components which include the battery and generator which allows the battery to self charge given certain conditions and another component which i forget what it does (taking it out the car is nearly 4-5 hour job and the whole thing costs $3,000 the Generator). Most of the volts that came to the dealership had zero problems even with the shitty AC delco batteries coming from factory since bought never replaced. But some where given the dreaded "Service battery charging system" which in most cases involved the main battery to be re programmed and/or charging it thru a special tool dealerships have. And very rare cases of the regular car battery in the trunk going bad due to bad cell(s) and needing to be replaced. I actually get one too but the '13-'15 year since the new generation volts the'15-newer have too many frequent problems...and sadly right out the factory too.

Having been an owner for 2 years and following the main Volt forums online, the main propulsion batteries have not been a source of many problems. Odd behavior that is suddenly cured by attaching a jump battery to the jump points under the hood most definitely point to the 12 volt battery which can be easily replaced. Other Volt owners commenting on this thread and talking about RCR's review have mentioned the same thing. Any car with a 12 volt battery going on 4 to 5 years is getting close to it's reliable service life. I have a Honda Odyssey that does all sorts of odd electrical things when its 12 volt battery was starting to go bad. There have been isolated incidents where the main propulsion battery have had to be replaced. Other causes of the Service battery messages are low coolant levels that require a top off and a reset at the dealer.

I suspect that this StabiliTrak® code may have actually been thrown because of a sketchy/depleted 12v system battery. These hybrids and electric cars have two electrical systems, the high-voltage system (which operates the traction motor and sometimes the HVAC) and the 12v system which works the same was as that in an ICE car, except instead of an alternator it is charged by a DC-DC buck converter from the high-voltage system. When the car first turns on, the 12v system provides power to boot up the computers before the high-voltage system is turned on, so an issue with the 12v system can prevent the car from "starting" just like in an ICE car. The only difference is that in an ICE car, you can tell when the battery is getting sketchy because it will often crank more slowly before it fails to start entirely. In this kind of car, the problem sneaks up on you. This happened to me with my Nissan Leaf, and it also threw a bunch of random trouble codes when it failed to start.

When the 12V battery on a normal car goes bad, the car doesn't start. When the 12V battery in the Volt goes bad, it'll throw weird codes when the computers freak out. All that guy needs is a new 12V battery. (Yes, EV's still have 12V lead-acid batteries) Also at 7:32, Mountain Mode will cause the ICE to recharge the battery to at least 40%. The ICE by itself cannot power the Volt at high speeds up steep grades for very long, it needs assistance from the electric motors, which of course means they need a charged battery. The Volt will always regenerate power when going down-hill.

The Chevy Volt is the only car I've ever driven that I was blown away while it was sitting still at a red light. The car is really quiet. And I mean REALLY quiet. I test drove one of these things when they were first on the market and I loved every minute of SITTING STILL in this car. It's dead at the lights. It burns no fuel, wastes no electricity. I've driven a Prius C before as well and there's just no comparison. Of course the price points are totally different for the two cars but I could actually see myself owning a Volt.

I got my Volt last year. My dad had the same reaction as you when he drove it. "This car is totally quiet". He was absolutely flabbergasted. There's also only one forward gear, so the power just happens all the way from standstill to highway speed. There's no waiting for turbo spool, no waiting for a kickdown, no dropping a gear manually when you want to speed up. It just starts speeding up.

Had similar issue with my Volt. means the Lead acid 12v batt in the trunk in about to go. Replaced as with any car and has been fine since.

Prius will do some weird shit to if that battery goes down. It would kinda start but it was very weak and kinda creepy on it would glitch.

A car I own is on Regular Car Reviews. I am cry.

so the lesson I've learned is that if you ever wanted to follow in ray's footsteps, choose a filling you can make without having a half an hour to recharge. SOLID advice.

I think "mountain mode" also kicks the gas engine in sooner and keeps the battery charge level higher, so there is more power in reserve for long hillclimbs and such.

I was originally excited when the concept Volt looked like a Camaro, then let down when the production car looked like the result of a drunken tryst of a Cruze and Prius. I am not sure which car would be the "top" and which would be the "bottom" in that scenario...

Car cost 12k, warranty cost 3k over the life of the vehicle. They tried like hell to get me to side-grade, but I told them to upgrade me or fix the car they sold me.

UH OH

So as a family member with a volt, drive it on D if you want a smooth deceleration. L to regenerate is fairly strong, many people use it to stop instead of brakes which drastically increases brake lifespan. Also the battery may need changing with that problem.

I just looked into it. 2017 Chevy Volt has a 420 mile range total, 17 Prius Prime has 640. Volt gets 42MPG (electric + gas combined), Prius Prime gets 54. Yes, the Volt can do full electric for 53 miles now, and the Prime can only do 25. Prius Prime also has nearly double the cargo volume. The advanced safety features are standard on the Prime and optional on the Volt. And the Prime weighs 200 lbs less. But the Volt is also $7,000 more expensive ($27k vs $34k) which is a big chunk of change.

one of my teachers drives one of these, and weirdly he never talks about it. You'd think a volt driver loooveeesss to talk about his cool VOLT

I have a 2012 Volt and have had it for a little over 4 years. I have pretty minimal complaints and it's been pretty reliable. I did have an issue with it not charging which was because of a software error they resolved and something about the battery coolant sensor in older models. That was a nightmare becaues the dearlership tried to fuck me because they bricked my system with the update and then wanted to charge me 1200 dollars to replace the Hybrid-Powetrain Control Module. Luckily, they were able to get the upgrade. I also had the driver-side window motor die a month after I bought the car. Additionally, I've had an issue with propulsion loss when in mountains or high elevation terrain. That gets really annoying. Besides those issues, the car has been great. I was fascinated by the technology of the volt and I liked the aesthetics of the car. The touch-screen control system on the console is a tad clunky, but overall I've found it to be an excellent and reliable car that saves me money on gas. And that was really what I liked about it.. The convenience and cost-effectiveness of electric with the range of a traditiional gasoline-powered car. I love this car and while it isn't flawless, it's a comfortable and quiet ride. I didn't buy it because I'm a green ecofreak. I bought it because I'm cheap. And it's done me well in that regard. I'm really disappointed GM decided to discontinue the Volt. They marketed this car poorly and it shows by the amount of questions I get when I go to fill it up and people say "wait, isn't that an electric car?" But I've never enjoyed driving a vehicle more. And I honestly wish they'd kept more of the styling from the 1st gen volts in the 2nd gen volts. I'm not fond of those.

if it happened in a dicey neighborhood.. the thief will jump in... and see he ain't going anywhere...just like us...

I think the implication is that someone would mug you because you can't escape in your Volt.

I love how it looks

I drove the new Volt, I am surprised to say this, but it kind of impressed me, especially with its comfortable interior (black and brown leather) and the wheel chirp when you mash the skinny pedal.

I drove a Volt a few years back at a GM test-drive event. I was actually pretty impressed with it. I thought it was going to be pig-slow like a Prius, but it's actually got some decent pick-up to it. You're not going to be winning any drag races, but the little bugger pulls.

Hopefully Mr. Regular does some more regular truck reviews.

Explain why! My volt smokes a Prius, has a lifetime average fuel mileage of 93.6 mpg with over 100k miles on it now, and when traveling over a mountain pass, hybrids and conventional engines alike suffer from loss of oxygen at altitude. The electric motor doesn't care what altitude you're at. It's pretty awesome having just as much power at 8000 feet as you do at sea level. Don't get me wrong, I think Toyotas are great. I loved my Tacoma and still enjoy my Landcruiser. I won't likely get a hybrid instead of an electric car. A Volt is an electric vehicle or EV with generator backup. Much different than a hybrid in the way it is powered.

But I guess since Volt isn't a hybrid, you just might be right in your comment. LOL

Funnily enough on my 2004 Tahoe the same thing happens where if the battery able to crank the engine a little bit but not enough to start it, the stabilitrak goes nuts and throws a code or two, once you jump it it goes away

I was trying to pull in a customers Volt for an oil change, and it locked itself in park for no reason. Asked another tech to try, had no problem putting it in drive. Rarely saw them on the lifts though.

hi bread

Windows is installing updates Please wait...

I am an AAA Roadside tech. I can tell you right now that the reason the car "bricked itself" and threw codes is because the voltage of the main automotive car battery was too low when trying to start the car (it's in the trunk under some covers). He probably had the original battery in the car (normal battery life is 3-5 years) and the car being left on while shooting drained it down (which happens much much faster the older the battery is). The Prius will do the same thing. If the battery voltage is low it will actually sometimes tell you the there is a transmission problem and to park the car. Low voltage can cause all kinds of issues on these newer car computers. Ever tried jumping a newer Dodge Journey with the ETC in it? Pretty much every single time the ETC fails, it won't let you go over like 15 mph, and the engine is misfiring horribly. Start it with a fully charged battery and it's magically fine.

A lot of cars/trucks today either go into neutral if a vilat system sets a code that could injure other components of the drive train, some if while moving will go into limp then when the vehicle stops (say at a stop light) it goes into park.

naijaflavor60 glad I wasn’t the only one that that stuck out to

Mountain mode doesn't charge just when going downhill; rather, it charges when the battery has a little less than 15 miles of range. Also, the ~90% / ~10% limit on battery is not a safety measure in case you run out of gas and electric. That would explain only half of that buffer. Rather, filling or discharging a lithium battery completely causes degredation. The buffer makes the battery last much longer.

My older world history teacher way back when this car first came out in 2010, was so smug he had to take the whole class out of class, to the parking lot to listen to his quiet car. I hated him for that, great teacher, but that right there made me think.

I own a Volt. I'm able to do my daily commute on electric, so I only use gas for longer drives outside my commute. I end up putting gas in about every three months. For the lifetime of the car, the "MPG" is 140. I put that in quotes because the MPG calculation doesn't include electricity. Premium gas was selected because it has a better shelf life. GM was also able to tune the gas engine for 93 octane, getting a bit more performance out of it. When I take a long road trip on gas, I hang out around 40 MPG when I run out of battery, and I fill up just as quick as any gas vehicle. The highway range is 300 miles or so, so that's pretty much how long most people drive without a break, anyway. Put another way, the cost difference between 93 and 87 ends up being a few cents if your driving needs line up with the way the car is designed to be used. If you do long highway trips all the time and don't have access to electricity (I charge at work and at home) then the Volt probably isn't the best choice -- a fuel sipper that gets better highway mileage would be better. But if you have a regular commute that's under 35ish miles it's really very good at that.
