“I have a 2013 chevy VOLT. The other day while driving my instrument cluster went black. I couldn't see my speed, fuel, remaining battery, signal indicators. I couldn't see anything going on with the car. The main instrument cluster reports on everything. I took it to a dealership and was told , yeah these things go often and your out of warranty . I also looked this up online and there are a lot of other VOLT owners that are dealing with this. This should be a recall. Gm knows they are selling a bad product. I shouldn't have to spend $1200 on a new instrument cluster every couple of years. …”

The local chevy dealer confirmed that the passenger seat occupancy sensor, (specifically, the passenger presence module ), needs to be replaced.
