Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My first problems I experience with the 2011 chevy VOLT was around october, 2014. When driving on the highway at highway speed, I received a propulsion power reduced indication on my dashboard and I was not able to keep up with highway traffic which resulted in a hazard for myself and other drivers. I was afraid I would be rear ended or cause an accident due to my low relative speed. This has happened several times while driving my vehicle, at times, not able to go faster than 45-55 MPH on highways with 65-75 MPH speed limit. …”
