For a faster charge (4.5 hours), a 240-volt charging station is optional. The car can be plugged into any standard 120-volt outlet, which charges the car in 13 hours when the battery is fully depleted. The 2017 Chevy Volt in Kansas City features a plug-in hybrid powertrain with two electric motors, a lithium-ion battery and a 1.5-liter engine. Volt also offers a unique sedan design with a rear hatchback, making it easy to access cargo. If you don't select options, you can still expect a wealth of features, including standard Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, an 8-inch MyLink touchscreen, remote start and available Wi-Fi. Numerous package options are available, from an LT Comfort package with heated front seats to the Premier's Driver Confidence package with blind-spot monitoring. Now how is any of this my fault? What a nightmare of an experience and I really wish I had a different brand.The entry-level Volt LT and next-level Volt Premier are your two primary options in the lineup, and 2017 Chevy Volt reviews call both generously appointed. #6 Chevy would not cover the car rental at all, because the rental car company didn’t have a Chevy to give me. #5 Chevy will not cover a rental car on a warranty issue for more than 3 days, even though it took 5 days to get the part. #3 The dealer was an hour and a half away and had no loaners. #2 it took them 2 days to call me back in the first place, in which I had already rented a car. #1 No dealers close to me can work on my car. Now come on.what kind of customer service is this? So I ask what happens when they don’t even have one available? They said they were sorry that it wouldn’t be covered. Now, the Enterprise by the car dealer is small and only had 2 cars available, a Nissan and a Dodge Charger. About 15 minutes later, the Chevrolet person calls me back and says that the car rental had to be a Chevrolet or they wouldn’t reimburse. Now keep in mind the part is on backorder, but ok. When I told them the dealer referred me to them, she put me on hold and came back on and said they could cover a 3 day rental. When Chevrolet called me back, they first told me that the dealer would be responsible for the car rental. Meanwhile, I needed a car, so I rented one at Enterprise. Additionally, the vehicle displayed low voltage codes when at 100,146 miles, which was nominally out of the warranty period and was clear indicator of high voltage battery issue. Given the battery range reduction and warning message while under the Voltec warranty, I believe the failure began to manifest while under full warranty coverage and should be fully covered. According to the dealer, GM has agreed to pay $1,812.66 of a $4,600 repair cost. The dealer was able to diagnose the cause of the warning message as a failure to section 3 of the high voltage battery. I had the Volt towed again to Chevrolet dealer at that time the Volt had approximately 101,500 miles. The gas engine turned on briefly then shut off, leaving me stranded on the side of the road. On Februthe Volt again displayed the Propulsion Power Reduced warning message. I had the 12-volt battery replaced independently. The dealer refused to further diagnose or to provide me with the vehicle’s low voltage error codes unless I paid them to replace the 12-volt battery. The dealer found there was a check engine light with low voltage codes and the 12-volt battery failed a test. In January, 2019 the Volt again displayed the Propulsion Power Reduced warning message, the gas engine turned on briefly then shut off, leaving me stranded on the side of the road.
