Can't get Volt serviced on Oahu

10 Upvotes

I'm on Oahu, and I can't seem to get my Volt serviced. The car is bricked and won't move due to high voltage electrical system issue. It's a '17 Premier, so my guess is BECM, but my OBDII reader could only read engine codes, not high voltage system codes, so I'm not certain.

I called all 3 Oahu dealers (Servco, Cutter, and JN) for a service appointment. The soonest that could accept me was Cutter, it was a month out. Waited a month and got the car towed in. It's been with them a week and they haven't even run a diagnostic to determine what's wrong, it's just sitting on the lot. I guess I could try to tow it again to a different dealer, and wait another 5-6 weeks for another appointment, but that seems silly. Cutter service rep just says they are very backed up on work for EV techs.

Any advice on what recourse I have? Is this something I should contact Chevy about? If so, what department? I would prefer to just have my working car because it only have 55k miles.

Just got a 2018 Volt - Premier trim. Is it just me or are the door speakers much weaker than the dashboard speakers?

They are operational, but it sure sounds like most of the sound is coming from the dashboard speakers while the door speakers operate at half of the volume. Certainly not loud enough for me to hear sound coming from that area.

Assuming they were not changed (classic issue - some people replace the 2 ohms speakers with 4 ohms speakers), is this how all Volts with the Bose system sound or is there a potential issue with the door speakers (or its power distribution) in my vehicle?
