Chevy Volt Vlog #63: 40k Miles / 20 Months – Shift to Park Issue FIXED $$$

At 40,000 miles, lets talk about the 2017 Chevy Volt Shifter to Park issue.  I brought it to the dealer and it was out of the 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty so i paid out of pocket to quickly get this resolved. It cost me about $420 dollars  to have the part diagnosed, replaced, and to get a rental car.

The sad part of this story is that i REALLY LOVE MY 2017 CHEVY VOLT!  I want to keep it in the family like all of our cars for over 150,000 to 200,000 miles.  I was planning to buy another Chevy Volt and pass this one to may parents however, not that this happened, it may not happen.   I came from owning Nissan, Toyota, Honda , and GMC  that never had issues for the first 70,000 miles. So seeing that this well designed advanced car and had a issue after 36,000 miles was disappointing.

I will reach out to Chevy to see what they will do in terms of goodwill. Due to the youth of this car and it just passing the Bumper to Bumper warranty.

Do you have the same issue? if so comment below!

Chevy Volt Vlog #62: 40,000+ miles – MidLife Crisis…

Both my 2017 Chevy and i bought turned 40!  My Chevy is now over 40,000 miles at about 18 or so months (or 19  months I forget).  And myself i have been traveling more, can not afford a house in California, no kids,  just my Chevy Volt + School  + Work …   

The funny story here revolves around me and the reason why i bought the Chevy Volt, it was fast enough to be my mid life crisis sports fast accelerating sports car and yet have the utility to be my daily and long distance touring vehicle!  And i love it.  So remember my first video of whether i was going to get a Porsche, well when i drove back from San Jose, CA to Los Angeles, CA. 

I was driving along side a Porsche Macan.  I passed him a few times and it was fun and youthful. So fun that i forgot how fast my GAS range was dropping from the estimated GUESS-o-METER 260 miles of range to about 20 miles – LOW.  My fuel point was 180 miles in so i figured it was not a problem. after about 3 hours of fun legal hop- scotch driving with the Porsche,  dash warning chime lit up with LOW for the remaining miles!  Sure i still have 0.5 to 1 gallon left int the tank, but if freaked me out! 

 I refueled and had a brief chat with the other driver as he refueled too.  He had no idea my Chevy Volt was a hybrid or an Electric Vehicle. I was getting about 31 MPG while he was getting about 20+ MPG or so. it was fun and i dont think i would do it again without more pit stops.  Driving sportingly guzzles fuel much faster than the Chevy Volt’s Guess-o-Meter can determine…
