2014 Chevrolet Volt problems
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid car manufactured by General Motors, also marketed in rebadged variants as the Holden Volt in Australia and New Zealand and the Buick Velite 5 in China, and with a different fascia as the Vauxhall Ampera in the United Kingdom and as the Opel Ampera in the remainder of Europe. Volt production ended in February 2019.
Sales of the 2011 Volt began in the United States in mid-December 2010, followed by various European countries and other international markets in 2011. Global combined Volt/Ampera-family sales totaled about 177,000 units by the end of October 2018. The U.S. is the leading market, with 157,054 Volts delivered through the end of 2019, followed by Canada with 16,653 Volts sold through September 2018. Just over 10,000 Opel/Vauxhall Ampera cars had been sold in Europe as of June 2016. Until December 2018, the Volt/Ampera family of vehicles was the world's all-time bestselling plug-in hybrid vehicle. As of December 2019, the Chevrolet Volt is listed as the all-time top-selling plug-in hybrid in the American market.
The Volt operates as a pure battery electric vehicle until its battery capacity drops to a predetermined threshold from full charge. From there, its internal combustion engine powers an electric generator to extend the vehicle's range as needed. While running on gasoline at high speeds the engine may be mechanically linked (by a clutch) to a generator set, improving efficiency by 10% to 15%. The Volt's regenerative braking also contributes to the on-board electricity generation. Under the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cycle, the 2013–15 model year Volt all-electric range is 38 mi (61 km), with a combined electric mode/gasoline-only rating of 62 mpg‑US (3.8 L/100 km; 74 mpg‑imp) equivalent (MPG equivalent).
The second-generation Volt's improved battery system and drivetrain increased the all-electric range to 53 miles (85 km), its EPA-rated fuel economy in charge-sustaining mode to 42 mpg‑US (5.6 L/100 km; 50 mpg‑imp), and the combined city/highway fuel economy in all-electric mode to 106 MPG-e, up from 98 MPG-e. Deliveries to retail customers in the U.S. and Canada began in October 2015 as a 2016 model year.
The Volt has won several awards, including the 2009 Green Car Vision Award, 2011 Green Car of the Year, 2011 North American Car of the Year, 2011 World Green Car, 2012 European Car of the Year, and 2016 Green Car of the Year.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-15
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1G1RF6E43EU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I bought my car and I had no idea about a known issue that this car has. Unsuspecting and trusting, I noticed my car had a reduced propulsion and it would like lose power and just slowly jerk and then really drastically reduce speed without anyway to fix it and on the freeway I got scared as I have never in my life has this happen in any car. So it happen a couple more times and I took a picture of it and took it to the dealership where I purchased it. They told me they couldn’t do l as they can’t repeat the issue. Well that only usually happens when I’m driving but now it’s more. The propulsion thing loses power and I as a driver going up a hill or anywhere now will lose speed and it’s dangerous, I feel like I may not make it home and I took it to the dealership many times and they told me there’s no issue. I took it again recently now that I’m out of warranty because it also had some high voltage issue and a sensor coolant issue that misreads. I like the car but very unhappy about dealership and manu not fixing this issue that every volt owner I talk to has, read about. I lose power, my car randomly heads up when it’s been cold all night and not driven now I have the same issues. I have the same issues and I use 91 gas, I have inspected my car and I had to learn about cars or more than I ever did which was like zero all because of this car. I even took it to the dealership 3-4 times (documented) to get it fixed and they just said there isn’t anything wrong nor did they say there’s a known issue and watch out for this or that. I had to look up the issue and learn about it on my own. Very dangerous date happening this is happening now almost everyday but was frequent 1.5 years ago but last 8 months it’s like the standard. I’m afraid my car will lose power on freeway, which it does and I have to take toll to stay away from others for everyone’s safety
POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-11-08
- VIN: 1G1RA6E48EU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: My 2014 Chevy Volt suffered a complete failure of the EV power system when the battery reached 0 remaining miles. Unlike normal failover to hybrid mode, the vehicle switched into reduced power mode. I was able to drive home (1/4 mile) in this mode but was unable to charge or drive the car after parking it. At this point the car become completely immobile and had to be towed to the dealer (Jerry's Chevolet in Joppa MD). It was there as of December 18. 2023. This is the same behavior as noted in the complaint about Gen 2 Volts except this is a Gen 1 Volt. In the reduced power mode, the car does not accelerate normally and is subject to power surges. The dealer inspected the car and said that a failed cell in the traction battery caused a fault in the entire traction pack. The resulting repair requires a replacement of the battery for $22,000 not including labor! The car is otherwise in excellent condition. I had the SAME issue repaired under warranty in 2021 with the exact same symptoms. If a reasonable battery replacement was offered, I would happily repair the car. Prior to the fault, the vehicle performed normally and even had 39 miles of range (this is nearly original range). I had not indication that the battery may be failing or degraded.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-06-16
- VIN: 1G1RD6E45EU
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: The car stopped working at a stoplight while I was driving my son to school. There was no warning other than a "Propulsion power is reduced" message seconds before it stopped working. After turning it off and back on, I got the car to limp out of traffic. By the time the tow truck arrived an hour later, we could barely get it to go into neutral to tow it. After towing it to the dealer, they replaced the engine control module. Since then, it has been working fine.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-06-27
- VIN: 1G1RA6E41EU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Vehicle stopped when changing from battery power to gasoline. Unable to drive. Not charging the Lithium battery therefore, I experienced 3 similar incidents with this vehicle. The first one on 02/15/22. The vehicle was towed to Bommin Chevrolet in Florida City, FL. This time it was under warranty. The second time 01/02/23 while on the road similar thing happened, again was towed to Tropical Chevrolet in North Miami, FL; a diagnostic was performed the error code was cleared and started charging again. This time same issue when the main battery was depleted the vehicle stalled. I had to towed to my home where is still sitting. Not operational.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-01
- VIN: 1G1RH6E40EU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Early this year GM disabled the OnStar feature on all Chevrolet Volts that have 2G connectivity. GM offered Canadian owners the option to upgrade their Volt's from 2G to 4G. In September 2019 they issued Service Bulletin 15-08-44-001J that gives the GM service department instructions on how to upgrade the Volt from 2G to 4G connectivity. They should give us the same options here in the states!
AIR BAGS,SEATS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-01-01
- VIN: 1G1RE6E44EU
- Components: AIR BAGS,SEATS
- Summary: Date above is approximate. The airbag sensor in the passenger side of the vehicle is faulty and causes a constantly cycling alarm when there is a passenger present. I believe this means that it is not accurately sensing the passenger and is turning the airbag on and off, making for a safety issue in the event of a crash. This is apparently a frequent issue and customers should not need to pay the $1,000 to fix the faulty sensor that could put a passenger at risk. https://www.gm-volt.com/threads/2013-passenger-presence-sensor-airbag-error.260945/page-2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGq_9T6om7g
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-02-27
- VIN: 1G1RA6E42EU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Passenger airbag sensor is faulty. It is available for inspection upon request. My passenger is at risk if the airbag does not deploy in case of an accident. Yes, I found out that the sensor had been replaced before, which did not resolve the issue. No. I got notifications right away after purchasing the vehicle. This appears to be a very common issue for gen 1 and 2 Chevrolet Volts. 2012-2013 Volts have a recall for this system, but I found online that lots of people with 2014 Volts are having the same issue.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-09-12
- VIN: 1G1RH6E47EU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Service Airbag warning light comes on and off. Reading message boards for 2014 Chevy Volt, is seems that this is a defective Passenger Occupancy Sensor that happens on a lot of Volts. A dealer has confirmed that this is the problem and will cost $1,000-$1,200 to fix. Since this is a safety component and is failing regularly on all Volts, I believe the manufacturer should recall this item to be replaces.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-15
- VIN: 1G1RA6E49EU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: With only 80,000 miles on my volt, the dash is intermittently ringing and telling me to service my airbag, and turning off passenger airbags even though the car is clean accident free and damage free. Apparently this is a know issue, and very common. I’m confused why this $1000 repair and safety issue is not being recalled to be serviced by Chevy. It’s very hazardous and costly, as well as incredibly common. I’ve read of at least 100 people having this identical issue.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-10-03
- VIN: 1G1RE6E43EU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: The Air Bag light comes on every day. The passenger sight presents sensor malfunction. Technician says this can be harmful to a passenger if in an auto accident. My significant other can die.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM

- Summary: From Diagnostic report: CODE B0074, Airbag Front Passenger Presence Module Replacement SHORTED. PART #22968437
AIR BAGS,SEATS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-11-04
- VIN: 1G1RC6E47EU
- Components: AIR BAGS,SEATS
- Summary: Our 2014 Chevy Volt began to rarely give an audible chime with a: "Service Airbag" message on the Driver Information Center display, as well as the "Passenger Airbag" overhead panel display showing "On"-"Off"-"On", spontaneously back in 2018. Again, this was rare, but concerning. This became somewhat more common in the months that followed and is now a common annoyance on every drive. Because of personal circumstances, as well as the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have not driven this vehicle much over the past couple of years, and we have not taken the car in for service. It has not yet been inspected by any other entity other than myself. The alarms happen whether the passenger seat is occupied or not. I have read on the GM-Volt online forum that this is likely caused by a defective passenger detection pad in the passenger seat, but I have personally checked the seat wiring harness and connector, and they appear to be nominal. Obviously, having an inoperative passenger airbag system is a significant safety concern. We ordered the car, and it was delivered new in December, 2013. There has never been a spill, leak, or any damage to any of the seats or airbag system of this vehicle. We intend to report the problem to our dealer, "Bob Steele Chevrolet" in Cocoa, FL within the next week. Our car is readily available for inspection at any time.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-09-20
- VIN: 1g1re6e47eu
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Several times a the passenger side airbag with or without a passenger will say it has an issue and a warning will pop up on the dash for a few seconds and then go away. It has been doing this since I got the car used over 2 years ago. I'm not sure if this means the airbag will deploy or not. It simply says airbag warning then goes away. I took it to the chevy dealership and they didn't find any issue.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2017-02-28
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1G1RH6E44EU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Volt. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle during an electrical storm the power would shut off causing the vehicle to become inoperable. On one occasion the power shut off causing the vehicle to roll into the rear of a second vehicle causing damage to the bumper. No injuries were reported and no police report was taken. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure and no repairs were performed. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,000.

- Summary: Service airbag is turning on.
AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-07-01
- VIN: 1G1RA6E47EU
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Not long after purchasing my 2014 Chevrolet Volt, I got a warning light telling me to check my airbags. I immediately took my car to my local Chevrolet to be looked at. I was told “oh this happens a lot with the earlier Volts” and was quoted $1100+ to fix the issue. I took it to another shop and was quoted a similar amount, around $1000+ with parts and labor. The safety of myself and any passenger of mine is at risk indefinitely because of this issue. I cannot have any passengers sit in the front passenger seat because the airbag will toggle on/off even when there is an adult sitting in the sit and not moving around. The problem was not reproduced, but was confirmed by a mechanic at Chevrolet in Tallahassee. The only thing that mechanics tell me is that “this is a common issue” and upon looking into this issue online, there are many people having the same issue. I’ve done nothing that would have damaged this airbag sensor so I do not understand why it is malfunctioning, and why I’m supposed to pay over $1000 for an issue that should not exist in the first place? If the passenger airbag is having issues, what if my drivers seat airbag has an issue that I’m unaware of? I can honestly say that I am not 100% confident that my airbag will deploy if I get into an accident. When driving my car I am constantly afraid for myself and for my passengers. I cannot afford to pay $1000 for an issue that doesn’t make sense. My mechanic could not explain why this happens, just that it is common with my vehicle
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-06-06
- VIN: 1G1RA6E46EU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: GM sent me a letter in June, 2019 notifying me that my 2014 Chevy Volt was in need of a software update “that is intended to increase the amount of warning time provided to you before your vehicle enters a reduced propulsion mode while driving, loses propulsion, or might not start.” The letter goes on to say: “WHAT WE WILL DO: Your Chevrolet dealer will update the Hybrid Power Control Module (HPCM2).” And: “This service will be performed for you at no charge until June 30, 2021.” (NOTE: this was later extended until October, 2021.) As suggested, I made an appointment to perform this service with a local Chevrolet where I live and took my Volt there. However, they told me that this service is covered only as part of GM’s “Customer Satisfaction Program” and since this vehicle has a salvage title, they would have to charge me (>$150) for this service. For your information, when I bought this Volt, it only needed some relatively minor body work and there are no mechanical of safety issues associated with it. Furthermore, my OnStar Diagnostic Report warns me that this vehicle should seek service under GM Recall #N172130462 due to "Loss of Propulsion Due to Low Cell Voltage." So it seems to me that that this isn’t just a matter of customer satisfaction, but rather a serious safety issue if I should suddenly lose propulsion while driving down the road. However, after writing a letter to GM and having several conversations with their Customer Care Department over the last year, they refused to perform this service at no charge to me as promised in their June 2019 letter. GM should do the right thing here and fix this problem.

The car performs even better than advertised, especially in warm weather, with all-electric miles. Even when running on the gas generator, it still manages to get 38 miles to the gallon. The ride is very smooth and the car performs well, making it a lot of fun to drive. It's a pleasure to go 70 on the highway with absolutely no noise. Although there are some negatives, such as the confusing controls on the center console and the lack of room in the back seat, it's still a great car for a couple or a family with 1 or 2 very young kids.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I've been having some trouble with the heater in my Volt Freezer. It seems that it only works when the gasoline system is on, and not when the electric system is on. Unfortunately, this has meant that I've had to drive 32 miles in some pretty freezing temperatures this winter! I leave my home at 4:00 am, so you can imagine how chilly it's been. I was a bit disappointed that no one at the dealership mentioned this issue before I purchased the car. Thanks for your help!

This is your vehicle of choice, unless you enjoy standing at the gas station.

The driver's seat may feel a bit snug for those with a wider build. I personally find that my left leg tends to rest over the seat bolster, which can be uncomfortable due to the seam in the top of the bolster pressing into my thigh. However, this is my only issue with the car and overall it is quite comfortable.

I have a 2014 Volt and really like the car. However, I think there may be some room for improvement in GM and its dealers' commitment to customer satisfaction, especially when it comes to the Volt. In December 2014, GM issued a 'Customer Satisfaction Program' which it also referred to as a 'recall' regarding a liftgate strut. Unfortunately, six months after the program started, GM dealers said they needed at least two weeks to get the part, and the GM Recall Center said the part was 'back ordered.' It's possible that GM and its dealers (such as Koons in Northern VA) don't stock the part, which can make it harder for people to get the repair made. Let's hope that GM can work on improving their customer service in the future!

This car has many pros, including great fuel economy, acceleration, cargo space, and reliable transportation. However, there are some areas for improvement. The interior design lacks visibility due to the side airbags obstructing the view, and the touchscreen can be unresponsive at times. Additionally, the key fob can be a hassle if it fails to detect the signal. Despite these issues, the car has been well-maintained and serviced, and I am confident in its overall performance.The physical backup seems redundant if it still requires a signal to start the car or prevent alarms from going off. It should only be used when the key battery has died. I have researched this issue extensively and even reset my car, but unfortunately, nothing has resolved it. While the Chevy car has many great features, there are some key backup and safety points that have been overlooked.

The Chevrolet Volt has some drawbacks that should be considered before purchasing or leasing. The car can be quite costly to charge in Los Angeles, potentially pushing you to Tier 3 and increasing your electric bill. Additionally, the battery life may not meet some drivers' range needs. Finally, with current gas prices, it may not be the most economical choice. However, the Volt is still an enjoyable car to drive, with decent performance and comfort. The interior and exterior design are also satisfactory. While the build quality could be improved, it is too soon to comment on reliability. Overall, the Volt may not be the best fit for everyone, but it is still a solid choice for those who prioritize eco-friendliness and enjoy a fun driving experience.
