There is water leaking into the passenger front and rear footwells of the car. This occurs with or without rain, the A/C condenser appears to not be draining onto the ground when the car is stationary as no puddles are showing up under the car like they used to before this problem occurred. Yesterday and today there was no rain, having used a wet vac on the carpet 2 days ago the carpet was fairly dry before, using the car last night, today driving it a total of 2 1/2 hours in the last 2 days with no rain, I vacuumed out another pint or 2 of water out of the passenger front, the back was just a little damp but wasn't soaked like the front. I run the A/C whenever I'm driving, as I live in S Florida where it's always hot and humid. This problem was first noticed about 2 weeks ago. When I had to wet vac over a gallon out of the car.

My Volt is giving me a "service airbag soon" warning on startup. Car is kept in a garage. The dealership said it was because I cleaned my seat and got it too wet, but I used standard seat cleaner sparingly. Also, the drivers seat appears to receive the error and this seat has never seen any "moisture". secondly, with no accidents or collisions, one of the front sonar sensors failed, with the dealership claiming it was due to bug buildup. Another $600 fix that I didn't do because it's nothing of my doing and that's an outrageous amount of money.

The 120V charging cord that came with the Volt has cracked and frayed, exposing electrical wires to the elements and creating a fire hazard. See photo of cord condition. The charger is a necessary element to using an electric-hybrid vehicle. We asked the Chevy dealer from whom we bought the Volt (see business card photo) to provide a replacement charger, and they refused to. This equipment is an unacceptable fire hazard, and its condition should not have resulted from normal wear and tear.

When using the turn signal with the radio barely on I cannot hear the turn signal indicator at all. The turn signal sound is extremely low. Today I left it on accident and a vehicle pulled out in front of me assuming I was turning, however I was not. This could have caused a fatal accident if he did pull out, the vehicle stopped just inches before being in the road. If the blinker indicator is through the vehicle audio system, it needs to be increased. I have left my blinker on multiple times >10.

Chevy Volt was driven into the garage with 10 miles left on the battery, the car was plugged into the electric charger for over night charge. In the morning in the attempt to turn on the car a message appeared stating. "not able to charge" "battery range 0 miles" "charging override/interrupt occurred" my husband came and checked out the car we plugged into our 110 Volt charge to make sure that it wasn't our charging system. Waited several hours still no charge. On star was called they could not collect any data because the car was totally shut down. Some time later possibly the next day (Sunday) there appeared a message. "charging override/ interruption a charging override or interruption has occurred due to one or more of the following events: * override of charging settings by vehicle owner via onstar. (this did not happen) * unintended interruption of ac power kath the vehicle's charge port. (also did not happen) *interruption of charging by the utility company via onstar as authorized by vehicle owner. (also did not happen) see owner's manual for further detail." Monday morning car was towed to dealership. Dealership attempted to charge and run tests to find out what had happened. After five days they decided to order a part, not sure what the parts actual name was, something to do with an electrical starting module. Dealership says the problem is solved, picking up on the 6th day at dealership. Hoping all is well.

Saturday on 09/5/2015 around 12:00 noon while driving our 2014 Chevy Volt, while I was passenger, my wife who was driving the car suddenly noticed the car computer program has gone crazy and started throwing all kinds of errors starting with 1) program cluster error 2) ice may be possible 3) washer level low 4) some other kind sensor errors 5) battery level started showing zero ( it was full ) 6) fuel level was zero ( had over 1/2 tank fuel) 7) odometer indication had changed on its own to km from miles 8) no proper vehicle speed indication.9 ) suspension need adjustment etc all these errors kept repeating over and over while driving causing a big panic to driver and passenger (me) besides resulting in distracted driving. Both driver and passenger seat heating kicked in on its own. For a short period we were not sure whether the vehicle is moving under our control or not. On the center panel also the information system was showing all kinds of errors like, battery was showing empty, the ambient temp was showing - 27C although it was quote hot at that time and the miles had changed to L / km etc. Looks like all the units changed in the car to metric on its own. All the symptoms indications were similar to the video some one has already posted here at the below you tube link. www.youtube.com/watch?V=07zmnh5Z1go scariest part was our vehicle started doing while it was being driven it was like car losing its brain ( computer program getting corrupted ) while on road. This situation poses a big safety risk to people. Currently as of today 09/09/2015 vehicle is still at dealership and yet to be fixed and handed over back to us. I have already called General Motors customer service and expressed the safety concerns, besides they expect me to pay in part to fix this. I can provide NHTSA my case number that GM representative gave me.
