The Volt's back in the shop, it's been there since last Friday. This time they haven't been so quick to diagnose it, I honestly think they have no idea what's wrong.

It has the same symptoms as the first go-around with it just losing all power and control, but this time I was exiting the interstate at a high rate of speed, so it was a lot dicier trying to get it stopped and keep it in the lane

They were thinking wheel motors and transmission replacements over the week, and they said they'd (try to) have some concrete plan of action by this evening. In the meantime they lent me a brand new truck for the duration until they get Ruby sorted out, so this might be a long haul waiting for a fix!

I love the Volt, but this is the second one I've owned and I've had issues with both even though I've absolutely babied both of them. The first one they replaced the entire traction battery under warranty, and this one is only a year old and is already having issues.
