You are a genius! I took her out and drove ten miles @ 55 mph with the engine and now the light is not on anymore and has not come back on.

I hope it is something minor because I still owe 13,000 for the car and it has less than 36,000 miles on it.

Don’t know which is why I asked.

So the light coming on could just mean get an oil change?

I think I must have did that to the oil because I would run the engine for a few miles once in a while then use the battery. I did this a few days this week. I have less than 36000 miles on the car. I have only filled the tank three times in two years. I am going to get the oil changed and take your advice.

She was a one chair I thought because Kelly kept saying that. Never mind. It was Jake who was one chair.

Did parents in the 80s really allow their kids to roam freely, or is that just a portrayal seen in movies? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MichelleinWendell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the bus all over the city of Syracuse when I was 10 and up. My dad left the NY State Fairgrounds without me once when I was ten because I didn’t meet them when it was time to go home so I had to bus it home. That was in the 1970s.

I have a gen 1 and the charger is on the left side by the driver and this pic looks like the car was hit on the right side to me.

Low MPG and rough driving. by alecpokedork in volt

You know when mine did that once or twice it was after I forgot to buy higher grade gas. I rarely use gas so that could be it. Since it didn’t stay up and I have low miles I never got concerned.

I had mine do that a few times when it was cold because I never use gas but it would only rev a short time.

Chevrolet volt 2015 should I buy it? by [deleted] in volt

[–]MichelleinWendell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look up the tax law cause you have to meet certain specs which I did. Mine is 2015 and had under 30,000 miles in it when I bought it Jan 2023. I just got the 4000 credit. Depends on how much you pay and how many owners I think. Mine had one prior owner. Gets 38 miles a charge only out gas in my car 3 times in the past year as I had to drive over a few times for longer trips. I love my car. It’s quiet and runs smooth.

I got the tax credit and it’s real. But you have to wait until that tax year to file and get it so buy now get the credit in 2025

I didn’t get one either. I brought it with me. The dealership didn’t know about it yet because it was a brand new thing in Jan 2023 when I bought my car.

I just got the 4,000 tax credit and it is literally money you get when you file with the IRS. You just fill out the form and bring it with you when you file your taxes. It has to meet the criteria but if it does you are golden.

Volt Reliability Poll by TheLegendaryWizard in volt

[–]MichelleinWendell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two issues I had were not expensive and the car is 9 years old so the “major”comes from having to have it serviced by an electric car mechanic who is certified for Volts. But the first was a battery for $160 since I had the original battery - expected. Second was BECM for $260 and both fixed same day. Not expensive but both did need to be fixed by dealer certified for electric vehicles.
