Description of the problem | While driving my 3 year old son to school my volt lost propulsion while slowing down for a red light. The car displayed a "loss of propulsion" warning and within 3 seconds my car had no power and was dead in the road. The volt is a hybrid and it lost propulsion while in electric mode. After the car stopped i tried turning it off and on and i tried to force it to run in gas engine mode but nothing worked. My car was towed to a chevy dealership where it took 31 days to diagnose and repair. Gm was called in to help diagnose the problem and they told the dealership to replace the entire transmission. In the volt the transmission also contains two drive motors. |
