Your Volt's propulsion system surges unpredictably on both battery and gas power, causing sudden loss of power followed by unexpected acceleration—this has almost caused multiple collisions. You've already spent over $4,000 on repairs that didn't fix the problem and aren't covered under warranty. The issue likely involves the engine control module, fuel injectors, or hybrid system components that need professional diagnostic testing and potential replacement.

My car will lose all power as I'm driving, switch between gas/ elec and almost stall, it will accelerate when I take my foot OFF the gas , it will lose power on a turn.. it's random. form what I understand it's the BECM and it happened just after 100k miles. I have 105k.
THERE'S AN ODD SITUATION WHEN I'M IN THE ELECTRIC MODE AND AM PASSING OVER A BUMPY BIT OF ROAD: THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AUTOMATICALLY. THE PART THAT IS TROUBLING IS THAT THESE ARE TIMES WHEN THE DRIVER WOULD WANT TO SLOW DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES. I'VE BEEN LUCKY, SO FAR. BUT I HOPE THIS IS REMEDIED SOON.
