The vehicle and the component are currently located at my home address and are available for inspection upon request. As of writing this now.  This failure caused the vehicle to enter a \"reduced power mode\" and subsequently resulted in a no-start and no-charge condition. The sudden loss of propulsion power presents a severe safety and crash risk, as the vehicle can lose motive power and stall unexpectedly while in transit.  Prior to the complete failure, the vehicle displayed a Check Engine Light and a \"Reduced Propulsion Power\" message on the dashboard. The local Chevrolet dealership has inspected the vehicle, pulled the associated diagnostic trouble codes, and officially confirmed that the BECM has failed.  General Motors has already acknowledged this specific safety defect through Special Coverage Bulletin N232432680, which extends BECM warranty coverage to 15 years or 150,000 miles to prevent sudden loss of propulsion. However, GM corporate and the dealership are refusing to honor this bulletin. They are denying coverage due to an administrative database flaw because my vehicle's under-hood VECI label designates it as an original California (CARB/PZEV) vehicle, GM's system excluded my VIN from the Special Coverage bulletin automation. Furthermore, because the vehicle is currently registered in a non-CARB state (Texas), the original CARB warranty is considered void. GM is using this internal database loophole to deny repairing a documented safety defect.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"VOLT","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11745571,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/25/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"06/22/2026","vin":"1G1RC6S52GU","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"I purchased the above-listed 2016 Chevrolet Volt through Carvana, relying on the contractual promise that the BECM was covered under Special Coverage N232432680 for up to 15yrs or 150k miles.

Initial Breakdown and Delivery: The vehicle originally had a Reduced Propulsion Power Alert on Monday [XXX] around 8pm and nearly caused me to be rear ended on a major road due to accelration issues. It then officially broke down on Tuesday, [XXX]. It was then delivered to Vic Koenig Chevrolet (1040 E Main St, Carbondale, IL 62901) via Tow By Freedom Towing the following Friday, May 29, 2026.  2. Delayed Work Start & Shop Stay: Vic Koenig Chevrolet was able to officially begin diagnostic and repair work on Wednesday, June 3, 2026.

That same day, service representatives from Vic Koenig Chevrolet phoned Silver Rock multiple times to provide diagnostic evidence, But SilverRock repeatedly issued oral denials over the phone.

In my opinion that should have been covered under warranty given that it is a common failure point on second generation Volts.  Note that the EGR value (OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer) is a readily available part.  In October 2025, my BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) failed.  Luckily, due to significant Volt owner complaints, GM was forced to provide a special warranty on this item, so the work that would have cost me approximately $4,000 was covered under this special warranty.  The BECM is covered for my 2016 Chevy Volt until 2030.  Note again that the BECM is a readily available OEM part.  In December 2025 my Chevy Volt check engine light went on again, and this time the Chevy Dealership is telling me that the main hybrid battery needs to be replaced.  However, GM decided in their infinite wisdom to discontinue production of the Chevy Volt battery, and so they can't even sell me a new hybrid battery, a critical component on this vehicle.  My understanding is that the 2016-2019 Chevy Volt battery is the same part #24060122.  The Chevy dealership has asked me to see if I can find a battery on my own, as their parts department cannot source one (GM used \"York Electronics\" in Canada).  As a result, I am now left with trying to find a used/refurbished hybrid battery.  If my Volt was a 2019 (the last year GM made the Volt), then this battery would be covered under warranty (8 years from in service date), yet GM wouldn't even be able to fix a 2018 or a 2019 Chevy Volt because they stopped making the battery for ALL Volts.    How can a manufacturer get away with not even providing parts for 10 years (in my case), or 7 years (2019 Volt)?  My only option seems to be to send a perfectly maintained car to the junkyard at 60,000 kms/40,000 miles.

On [XXX], 2024, this Volt (VIN [XXX] ) was towed to the Dealer again because the Volt would not start, would not charge, and the engine light was on.

Plaintiff checked the VIN at the GM Recall and Warranty Center website.  The Volt at issue is covered under special coverage warranty N232432680, according to the GM website.  Plaintiff asked the Dealer and GM again after [XXX] about warranty coverage for the BECM at issue. GM responded that the bumper-to-bumper warranty expired and that they would provide no assistance.

GM breached multiple warranties and failed to provide sufficient repairs, and this Volt has been out of service for more than 80 days.  Based on GM\u2019s warranty breaches, insufficient repairs and inconsistent statements, this Volt poses serious safety concerns.

We received a warning message on the dashboard stating that \"Propulsion power was reduced\" and the engine began running rough, with surging noticeable based on throttle position. We also noted that engine temperature was rising above what was typical for the vehicle.  The vehicle was able to maintain highway speed, and we were able to limp the vehicle to a safe location.  Based on a web search, we were able to diagnose the issue (a failed EGR valve) as well as a way to limp the vehicle to a local dealership. They made a change that allowed us to limp home safely (unplug the EGR valve's electrical connector and replace the  blown fuse under the hood).  The vehicle was taken to a Chevy dealership when we made it home. The failure we had diagnosed was confirmed, and the component was replaced.  The repair was not covered under warranty, and cost a significant sum to repair (1139.91). Additionally, this appears to be a very, very common failure for this make and model of vehicle- to the point where there is so much demand for this repair to be performed that these components (the EGR valve specifically) are difficult to obtain from Chevy.   Additionally, the failure mode is such that when the EGR valve fails, it pulls excessive currents, and blows a fuse that also controls a number of important engine cooling components, leaving engine cooling significantly compromised. If we had been going faster, or if the weather was warmer, or if the load inside the vehicle was heavier, it would have been easy to overheat the gas engine and leave us stranded.  I am concerned about the incidence rate of the failure, (based on online reports) the relative small number of miles on the vehicle when the failure occurred, (~57k) and the possible knock-on effect of the failure of the gas engine's ability to cool itself due to a relatively unrelated failure.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"VOLT","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11489126,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/26/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"10/13/2022","vin":"1G1RD6S52GU","components":"ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"Got a Check Engine light on Aug 26 2022 driving about 5 minutes out of my house.

I got my fob and moved the car to where we charged it in the morning. In the afternoon after it was charged I had the same fob and got in to move it back by our front door and the screen gave the message \"No remote detected\". I assumed the fob battery was dead and changed it and it still would not recognize the fob. Then I got my wife's fob and it would not recognize that one either. So the keyless remote system in the car had failed in some way. I went online and saw there were plenty of cases of this happening to this model and other Chevy models that used a similar system. There is some issue with this system and it is very dangerous as someone could easily get stranded if they were alone in some remote place and not understanding how to even get in their car as there is no visible keyhole on the door to put the mechanical key.  To follow up just as I was going out to the car to read the mileage all of a sudden the fob worked again. Both now work. It has been about 20 hours where it wouldn't work. I tried it many many times over those 20 hours and neither fob would work but now they both do. So this as many have reported , is an intermittent problem but dangerous because at any time you could be locked out of your car and you have to know how to pry off part of the door handle and insert the mechanical key and then place the fob in the special place under the lid in the console to be able to drive. Certainly once it happens to you and you learn all that you can do it in a reasonable time frame but when it happens the first time you are really stuck.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"VOLT","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11430779,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/27/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"08/27/2021","vin":"1G1RD6S55GU","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"My 2016 Chevy Volt has an issue where the is an intermittent shift to park message displayed while the vehicle in in park.
