2013 Chevrolet Volt 4dr Hatch

149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD

104000 mi

US $179
Service High Voltage Charging System error. HPCM2 and BECM reprogrammed. GM should cover these under a warranty extension because these latest calibrations fix known issues with high voltage self test parameters, but they will not cover it. 
134000 mi

US $250
Passenger side CV axel replaced 
31000 mi

US $400
Car was making a clunking sound upon initial acceleration and braking. There apparently we're a couple of washers on the axel that broke and allowed too much play so that things were moving where they were not supposed to. If not fixed dealer states that wheel bearings would get damaged. 
35000 mi

US $1200
Rotor Bearing Failure. Repaired under Power Train Warranty 
75000 mi Transmission Valvebody and TCM replaced due to solenoid failure. The entire unit was replaced under warranty. 
49600 mi

C $200
noise when accelerating [axle nut?] 
1000 mi Defective control solenoid in the transmission was replaced under warranty. Time spent in the shop was due to backorder of the part from GM. 
2700 mi Leaking axle shaft. Shaft was ground down. Replaced unit. 
50700 mi Axle nut was loose. Dealer could not diagnose correctly. I figured out a loose axle nut was the problem with a recommendation from a Volt forum to check it. Believe my surprise that it was that simple but the dealer wanted more time to diagnose the car... 
75000 mi

US $75
outer CV boot torn, axle clicking on turns. Replaced entire CV shaft. 
1000 mi Service bulletin repairs PIC57086, J9999 06-08-47-001 SPS CONTROL MODULE. Check engine light. Computer updated.
