Vehicle air condition stopped working while driving, check engine light came on. Message from onstar reads: an issue with the lithium-ion battery in your 2016 chevrolet volt has been detected. Please service your vehicle within 1 day.
All vehicle systems are not registering that the vehicle is in park when the shifter is in the park position. The instrument cluster gear indicator registers the vehicle as in park, but when attempting to power down the vehicle an error message occurs directing the driver to shift the vehicle into park. When exiting the vehicle the doors will not lock.
When vehicle is shifted into park position and engine in powered off, the dash reads out that vehicle must be in park position. I have to jiggle the shifter or depress the button several times to engage into park position. If this is ignored the vehicle does not register in park and cannot safely be left unattended. This occurrence has been happening for over a month at a daily rate. The dealership does not honor the power train warranty for this issue.

Intermittent problem where the center display console goes blank on starting the car and is completely unresponsive. This displays vital information such as location, charge capacity, climate controls, etc. Could not find a way to reset this. It corrects itself after the car is off for a bit. This is the second time this has happened in two days. This is for case id number 10872363.
2016 chevy volt wouldn't start, less than a year old, current on maintenance. Towed it to dealer, they said there were some recalls - but couldn't tell me what was wrong. Got it back after 2 days, was fine - then on 9/22/16 wouldn't start again - I was stranded in the dark, got it jump started. Took it to the dealer, since it was running fine he didn't take it in. Told me next time it happens to get it towed in. Wouldn't start again yesterday, unreliable car. Please investigate.
