Chevy Volt takes 27 years before owners save money

You're a joke. You spread lies about GM admitting problems with Volt fires and then can't even provide a link. You are like a politician that would rather kill a bill that would do good than admit the other side is right on an issue and join them.

 

They burn. Look it up on Google. I'm not your search-bitch.

You are an idiot for buying one and a hustler for trying to sell them. I don't argue engineering issues with cars salesmen or environmental science majors. You'll just have to sort it out for yourself.

The GM Barbeque.

OK So who do you have supporting your claim? You make a statement backed up by no credible link. No real world Volt crashes or otherwise have resulted in any fires and the crash tested ones did not follow standard procedure that every first responder would know to carry out. Meanwhile a quarter million fires a year happen is gas vehicles and we don't think twice about it.

From the LA Times article:

GM is retrofitting the roughly 8,000 Volts it has already sold and modifying new cars coming off the assembly line. It is adding structural reinforcement that better protects the battery pack from punctures or a coolant leak in a severe side crash.

NHTSA has conducted tests on Volts retrofitted with the structural reinforcement and said the remedy prevents the types of fires that were occurring in its early side impact tests.

“There will be growing pains as this technology comes on the market. This won’t be the last thing that we hear of,” said Aaron Bragman, an analyst with IHS Automotive.

“GM came out with a fix for it because it was a public relations issue but from an engineering viewpoint there really wasn’t a problem with the car considering the conditions of the test needed to create a fire,” Bragman said.

 

I don't have all day to sit here research non existent stuff so please save me the time and put up a an article stating that the Volt caught on fire in a real world situation. Otherwise I don't see how you have any credibility.

You make up lies and then defend it by calling me a liar and a hustler. Real quality argument.

 

Wow, you really do sound like a shill. At first, I thought 377OHMS was just exaggerating!

And I thought you were here to have an intelligent discussion. I will admit that I was wrong about that.

 

A Chevy Volt salesman judging intelligence LOL.

 

OK, so a couple of Volt's caught on fire in crash tests. The government began investigating. What was their conclusion?

 

Conclusion: They burn.
