How my Chevy Volt almost got me seriously injured (or killed)

How my Chevy Volt almost got me seriously injured (or killed.) Driver was attempting a left turn across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic: “Once it was [clear], I hit the gas to complete my turn…and the car stopped going mid-turn. The cars that were coming towards me slammed on their brakes… This all happened without warning from the Volt. No check engine light or chime alerted me that anything was wrong.” Aside from that, wasn’t it a great play, Mrs. Lincoln?

  • It doesn't matter how many stories like this that are reported, the loyal Dolt lovers will never see the light, even when it's totally out.

  • Another Volt shorts out, Now wait a couple weeks till it bursts into flames in your garage....What a great car, Obammie should be proud of the money that was invested in this piece of junk....
