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.
The battery energy control module failed at ~34k miles. This happened when the vehicle was parked and prevented the car from using the batteries for driving. The failure made the car unusable.
