A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
SO I BOUGHT A USED CHEVY VOLT IN MAY 2015. ITS NOW SEPT 2015 AND MY CONCERN WITH THIS CAR IS GROWING BY THE DAY. I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO START SAVING MONEY FROM CRAZY GAS PRICE BUT.....
I STARTED TO NOTICE THIS PRESSURE I WOULD GET IN MY HEAD WHEN DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE. OVER 20 MILES OR MORE. I DIDN'T PAY IT ANY MIND. THEN MY KIDS AND I GOT IN THE CAR ONE DAY AND ABOUT 30 MILES OR SO IN, MY DAUGHTER SAID HER TUMMY HURT AND SHE BARFED.
ONE MONTH LATER, GETTING IN THE CAR ABOUT 30 OR SO MILES IN, MY OLDER DAUGHTER SAID HER HEAD WAS KILLING HER AND HER STOMACH HURT. SHE WAS PERFECTLY FINE WHEN WE LEFT THE HOUSE. AFTER I TOLD HER TO JUST TRY AND RELAX, SHE BARFED EVERYWHERE. ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH LATER, MY NIECE CAME TO VISIT FROM OUT OF TOWN AND WHEN DRIVING THE SAME AMOUNT OF MILES GIVE OR TAKE, SHE TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T FEEL WELL AND HER HEAD WAS HURTING AND SHE WAS NAUSEOUS. A THOUGHT CAME TO MIND LIKE WHY IS IT EVERYONE IS ALWAYS GETTING SICK NOW WHEN WE GET ON THE ROAD LONG DISTANCE AND IT JUST DIDN'T DAWN ON ME YET IT COULD BE THE CAR. ANYWAY, A FEW MINUTES AFTER MY NIECE TRIED TO GET HER MIND OFF HER HEAD, SHE ASKED ME TO PULL OVER AND SHE BARFED. SO THEEEEEEN, ITS MY TURN I GUESS. MIND YOU, WE TRAVEL MAYBE ONCE A MONTH AND THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME WE TRAVEL.
SO WHEN IT COMES TO ME, I HAVE FELT SLIGHT PRESSURE IN MY HEAD AND A BIT NAUSEOUS SINCE WE GOT THE CAR BUT AGAIN, I DIDN'T REALLY PAY IT ANY MIND. BUT THEN LAST TUE, SEPT 15, 2015 I'M DRIVING HOME AND MY HEAD PRESSURE TURNS INTO A MAJOR HEADACHE AND I WANT TO BARF. I TRY TO IGNORE IT BUT ONCE WE GET HOME I WANT TO PASS OUT. SO THEN MY MIND STARTS GOING LIKE I WONDER IF ITS MY CAR. SO I JUMP ON GOOGLE AND LOOK FOR RECALLS, ANYTHING THAT COULD BE RELATED TO WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH US AND I FIND A FEW COMPLAINTS THAT I POSTED BELOW.
TODAY BEING THUR 9/17, I DECIDED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE SINCE THEN MY CHEST HAS BEEN HURTING, I'VE FELT SICK TO MY STOMACH AND THIS HEADACHE WILL NOT GO AWAY. I ASKED MY DOCTOR TO DO BLOOD WORK FOR CARBON DIOXIDE. I WON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESULTS ARE Til LATER IN THE WEEK, BUT I AM STARTING TO THINK THAT WHEN THE BATTERY RUNS OUT AND YOU START USING GAS, SOMETHING IS CIRCULATING IN THE CAR THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
I AM TAKING MY CAR TO CHEVY IN THE MORNING AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO FIND ME SOME ANSWERS BECAUSE THIS IS MY KIDS AND MY LIFE THAT ARE AT RISK RIGHT NOW (IF ITS THE CAR) AND I AM NOT GOING TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES AND LET SOMETHING HAPPEN TO US IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VOLT THAT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT TO LIGHT YET.
I AM LEAVING THIS COMMENT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AND WANT TO GET ANSWERS AND PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES. IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING MEAN TO SAY, PLEASE KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. I AM ONLY TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. THANKS.
PLEASE ANYONE OUT THERE, HELP ME FIND ANSWERS.
AFTER I GO TO CHEVY NEAR HOME, I'M CONTACTING CHEVY DIRECTLY.

Head strain or headache feeling with Volt
Just leased Chevy Volt and I noticed this head strain feeling while driving it. Almost like a soft pressure to the head but if I drive for long durations then it can end up being a headache feeling. Could this be related to any EMF emitting in the Volt?

I owned a 2009 Chevrolet
I owned a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid which caused severe motion sickness in 90% of the people who rode in it. We found that it seemed to cause a massive amount of pressure in your head. If you opened the windows it was better, but still present. After more than 50k, it was time to get rid of it. While test driving new vehicles, I was weary that they too may cause the same kind of motion sickness. My daughter then told me that she didn't feel any "pressure" in her ears or head, and therefore, it was fine. That was when I realized that it does seem to cause a massive amount of pressure in the head. Most people who rode in this vehicle would complain about not feeling well. After it happened several times, I would tell them that we too had the same problem, and it was the car causing it. Friends are now happy that I have a new vehicle and no one gets headaches or nausea.
