| 2012 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | OWNED CAR FOR 8 MONTHS. USING 110V OUTLET TO CHARGE ELECTRIC BATTERY. CHARGES FINE EVERY NIGHT. UNPLUGGED CHARGER TODAY. CHARGING CONNECTOR IS BLACK, SEMI MELTED. OUTLET IS BLACK AND CHARRED. APPEAR TO BE DAYS AWAY FROM A FIRE. I LIVE IN A NEW HOME (LESS THAN A YEAR OLD) VALUED AT OVER 500K.

| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | THIS IS THE SECOND VOLT I OWNED IN A YEAR THAT EXHIBITED THIS ISSUE. UPON BRAKING AND PASSIVE DECELERATION THE CAR MAKES A LOUD AUDIBLE WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER STATES IT IS A REGENERATIVE BRAKE BEARING FAILURE. THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE BEARING CAGE FAILING CAUSING THE BEARING TO LOSE ITS INTEGRITY. HTTP://GM-VOLT.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?17877-LOUD-WHINING-DURING-REGEN. *TR |
