What owners wrote
Urgent urgent. This is something wrong with the 2017 volt. My vehicle caught on fire while driving down the interstate at higher speeds. I have found two others that this has happened too. GM didn't even investigate before denying liability, they made a determination over photos. All 3 vehicles had over 20k miles on it. Others lives may be in danger. Please investigate.
Errors: "unable to charge", u2619, u2620, u2621, u2622, u2623, u2624, ub2aaa, becm needs replacing; also "shift to park" error is very common in this chevy volt.
