1 Radiator problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Volt

Failure Date: 12/21/2018

I live in and drive my car around southern California under normal conditions. My battery coolant radiator was hit by a small rock and leaked. This prevented charging, caused a check engine light to come on, and coolant to pool underneath my car. I towed it to a nearby chevy dealership to get the radiator replaced. Radiator damage to Volts is not uncommon. Chevrolet knows this is an issue and has issued a service bulletin covering some (but not all) Volts due to their low, vulnerable, and relatively unprotected design of the radiator. I believe Chevrolet should remedy the problem with stronger radiator shields and protectors.
