Example complaints

“Driving on 55 MPH straight two lane road when car ahead slowed. To recover energy to the battery, dropped from d to l in gear selection rather than using brakes (was plenty of distance, but not enough to coast). Car in front turned off to right. I advanced selector to drive, but overshot into neutral. Realized my error when pressing accelerator yielded no speed increase. Put selector into d , verified visually and pressed accelerator without result. Verified again visually that selector in d. …”
NHTSA complaint #11400359, filed 2021-03, 65,000 miles“Friday october 30 at 1 pm pacific coast time, my VOLT lost all power on the middle of the san mateo bridge. There was no shoulder and the car went from 70 miles an hour to a dead stop in about 100 ft. I had a propulsion system failure message on the display screen. I was nearly rear-ended by a semi, who in turn nearly turned over trying to swerve out of my lane. The semi nearly pushed another car into san francisco bay. This is a dangerous vehicle and the government should not allow it to be sold.”
NHTSA complaint #10787489, filed 2015-10, 2,000 miles“Total loss of power climbing a hill at freeway speed. The behavior was like the car had shifted itself into neutral. This then manifested itself three other times over the next 20 miles of driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10714318, filed 2015-05, 85 miles“2/24/17 while driving on a public business 2 lane road with 30 miles battery life and 150 miles gas available, the car driving at approximately 25 miles per hour on a very slight declining slope when it completely stopped in the middle of the fast lane of traffic on a four lane road - two lanes in each direction. The warning propulsion power reduced and check engine light were both on. I was only slightly able to control the car by forcefully turning right into a driveway across another traffic lane while rolling slightly downhill. …”
NHTSA complaint #10959822, filed 2017-03, 26,500 miles“I will be driving on the road and randomly my vehicle will give me a loss of propulsion warning. This has happened many times on the highway where I’ve lost acceleration power quickly and have almost been involved in a futile accident as a result. My vehicle also randomly switches from electric to gas sometimes causing my car to jolt”
