What owners wrote
While entering in the highway the car started to decelerate regardless the fact the gas pedal was pushed several times. The car decelerated and then stalled. The car has been rear ended by the car behind. This could have been a much more serious accident and it was a vehicle failure.
1) passenger air bag notices keeps coming on despite there being no passenger. Only goes away when I buckle the seatbelt 2)passenger seatbelt warning keeps coming on, only way to stop it is by buckling seatbelt 3)airbar ligtht goes on and off. Will indicate it needs service and then go away for a day or two before coming back on. 4) drive rotor bearing. Had it repaired and within a few months started making same noises again. Common issue with early generation volts based on research.
