GM recalls 64000 Chevy Volts for shut off problem - CNNMoney
The Chevy Volt is so quiet that some people forget to to shut it off. That can be dangerous when the the hybrid's gas engine kicks in and the car is parked in your garage. It issued a recall Thursday of 64,186 Volts from model years 2011-2013. Owners can bring the car in for a software update that will ensure that it automatically shuts off after idling for an hour and a half. All the Volts already sound warnings if the car is left running. That triggers the gas engine to turn on, and if it runs for a long enough period of time in a garage, for example, carbon monoxide can build up. The gasoline engine generates electricity to drive car after the initial battery charge runs out. Market indices are shown in real time, except for the DJIA, which is delayed by two minutes.
