My 2012 Chevrolet Volt shutdown while driving with a full tank of gas when the electric battery reached zero range. The car went into neutral on the freeway at 65mph and would not move under its own power. The car would not jump start or charge. The hpcm2 has disabled charging and caused a check engine light with all 4 batteries in low Voltage lock out. This is the same problem as another recall which gm will not perform because the VIN was not included. Nhtsa campaign number: 18v397000 I have a unsafe car that is now locked out until the recall is applied but the factory will not apply the recall.

Brand new car suddenly stalled while driving - still had about 10 ev miles left and a full tank of gas when it happened, traveling straight at around 45mph. Messages displayed on dash telling me "propulsion power reduced to 0" and "shift to park", giving me about 30 seconds to pull over before it completely stopped. Restarted car several times, but "initializing wait to shift" and "propulsion power reduced" messages displayed, as well as check engine light. Car would not shift out of park, even to neutral. Luckily I was on a quiet city street at night and not on the freeway, as this could have been extremely dangerous. On star service had me towed to dealership, whose service department said it was a faulty part in the electric engine charging module. They will replace the part. However, since having this issue I have read of countless other similar situations on previous Volt models, with sudden stalling and "propulsion power reduced" messages. It is so common there is a pinned message about it on the Volt internet forums, and I have read several previous NHTSA complaints. It seems all too common and I believe is something that should be investigated as it could cause serious injury or death depending on where/when it happens. If it was a known fault on previous Volt models it should have been fixed in the 2019 version.

When filling the gas tank: back pressure is sensed by gas station pump and stops the flow of gas after a quick moment. Continuing these short bursts can take a long while. If trying to fuel slowly below the threshold of the back pressure being sensed by the pump, it could result in gasoline flowing and squirting out of the gas tank opening, onto: the car, tire, brakes, underside of car & the attendant filing the gas tank.
