Warnings Problems of Chevrolet Volt

With phev battery at 0%, it's normal for the gas engine to kick in. What's not normal is when the infamous bcem propulsion system failure happened. First, it shut off the ice engine and reverted to ev mode when I have 0% charges left. The system also reduced power to the car. Luckily, I wasn't on the freeway, or this could end up really badly. I was at the point where I could no longer accelerate and was coming to a stop really quick. Because I was still on local street, was able to safely pull over to the side of the road and turned off the system completely. I waited a minute or 2, turn the car back on and the engine kicked on immediately. Please have gm issue a recall for this problem TSB 18-na-261 because if this happens to someone on the freeway when their battery is at 0% and bcem shuts off the gas engine with loss propulsion failure, it can result in serious accidents and deaths.

Consistent bcem failure with Volt. Power reduced even if battery has full charge and gas is in tank. Forward collision made unavailable without reason whilst driving. I rely on the forward collision system while driving at night in my area because of drivers cutting each other off constantly, so losing this feature without knowing why it failed feels unsafe to me. Forward collision would also activate when no vehicle is infront of me causing the car to suddenly stop and jerk on the road. Propulsion power is reduced is an extremely common occurrence in my Volt. It happens randomly while driving and even while charging. When I'm on the highway the car would slow down when the warning came on; even with cars right behind me. I'm scared one day the car's system will cause an accident because of it's unpredictability. Regular maintenance has been performed and no issues have been found. The problem continues to persist.

My forward proximity sensors would randomly trigger. One day my ambient air temperature went haywire, checked for codes and had high Voltage reading ambient air, brake booster trouble. After further investigation found that the x100(female) connector had water intrusion causing shorts across the pins showing Voltage to drop across other pins further sending false or incorrect signals to the computer. The connector was thoroughly cleaned and aired out. Now wrapped intensively with a lot of electrical tape in hopes to prevent water from getting in and causing Voltage that range from 5v-14v from shorting across terminals and causing false activation.

Control module battery energy control failure part is unavailable for more then 3 months or more check engine light on car can be disabled at any time traveling down highway dealer confirmed part needs to be replaced.
