Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet volt. while driving 65 mph, the propulsion power reduced warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated to 35 mph. the vehicle was pulled off the road and the battery died. the vehicle was towed to miami lakes auto mall (16600 nw 57th ave, miami lakes, fl 33014, (305) 455-3540) where it was diagnosed that the software to the propulsion system need to be updated. the software update was performed, but the failure recurred three times. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 53,016.
While driving at 45 mph, the vehicle battery system turned off losing the ability to accelerate. the engine did not turn on when the battery drains to zero. the battery was fully charged at about 95% with about 40 miles of range remaining. the gas tank was 3/4 full. had to come to a complete stop in traffic, place the car into park, turn off the car completely then begin restarting it for all functionality to return.
On june 4, 2018 i was driving with 4 miles left of electricity power, once i ran out of electricity it switched over to the gasoline tank which was half full. once this switch occured i received the message on the dashboard that read "propulsion power reduced" and "engine not available, service soon". i was drving on a regular flat street (no steep hills) for about 15 minutes then went into freeway. once in the freeway my vehicle began to slow down significantly giving me just enought time to pull over to the right shoulder lane. i was very lucky to have been able to pull all the way to the right which in part was due to the fact that i was already on the right lane, but if i had been on the left lane i can guarantee i would not have made it safely to the shoulder lane. prior to this i have had absolutely no other issues with the vehicle. on march 26, 2018 i took my vehicle to the dealership were it was purchased for an oil change and for a complete check and all results were normal.

I received the chevy volt 2/20/14 at around 10:45 am. my partner and i had a very important meeting at 12:30 p.m. in jersey city, nj so we left directly from the dealership in the brand new volt, 7 miles on the odometer. at approximately 12:00 p.m. the car alarmed with two messages: 1. engine not available and 2. propulsion power reduced. the alarms/engine failure came at the most inopportune time---while on the new jersey turnpike in a construction zone and no available shoulder. with semi-trucks bearing down on us, we luckily made it to a construction pull off area and called on star. on star informed us the turnpike is a restricted zone so they could not send anyone, they were helpful and got in touch with the turnpike authority which sent a tow truck. while i was on the phone with on star my partner called the dealership where we got the car. they were helpful and contacted the dealership where the car would be towed?malouf chevrolet. after waiting over 30 min for a tow truck to arrive, all the while fearing i was going to be mowed down by a semi-truck on the shoulder, the brand new volt, my partner and i were off the turnpike. upon arrival to malouf we were greeted by a member of their service team, he asked me how many miles were on the car. i said?66?, he asked ?6600?, i responded ?no! 66, the car only ran for a little over an hour after delivery!? we now have a loaner from malouf and have not heard anything about what caused this catastrophic failure of the brand new chevrolet volt. *tr
