149-horsepower Plug-in Hybrid CVT FWD

Putting the car into Park didn't always allow the driver to then shut off the vehicle. The display would state that the car was still in gear and had to be placed into Park. Taking the car out of and back into Park would fix the problem. There was a component in the center console that had to be replaced to fix the issue. |
| 45000 mi | The "shift to park" problem that is common for GMs. A switch in the gear selector goes bad, and the car won't turn off because it asks you to "shift to park" when you are already in park. It was fixed under the Voltec warranty. |

2013 Chevrolet Volt 4dr Hatch
149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 49600 mi C $200 |
noise when accelerating [axle nut?] |
| 134000 mi US $250 |
Passenger side CV axel replaced |
