What Owners Say
“when pushing the buttons or touch screen, nothing happened. After a period of time everything you pushed would quickly display on the screen until it came to the last button you pushed. This is not an everyday occurrence. Deal could not fix”
Jose M., IL (2014 Chevrolet Volt None Plug-in Hybrid)“Radio would hang at the tone adjustment screen. Dealer had to install an update to fix. Resolved now”
Anonymous, CO (2014 Chevrolet Volt None 1.4-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)“HAC system problem caused the button that changes the car from electric battery mode to gas engine mode failed then frozen”
Anonymous, CA (2014 Chevrolet Volt None 1.4-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)“whole in dash system would intermittently go blank, and turn off. Even lost charging schedule once. Had a loose connector and required the system be removed and connector reseated. Took several hours to download software so repair took over 6 hour”
Doug F., CA (2014 Chevrolet Volt None Plug-in Hybrid)“Goes blank when cold and reboots”
