2018 Cali volt with 138k miles what should I do?
Okay, just got voltage to see how bad things were and it doesn't look pretty. The story is I've got a 2018 volt, owned it its whole life, with 138k miles on it. I live in Colorado (a CARB state) and had pack 1 replaced at about 65k miles and pack 3 replaced last week. Was driving on Friday and noticed it would kick the ice on every so often like it was in hold mode but didn't think much about it. Then as I was pulling up to a friends place to help them move a couch I got a propulsion power reduced and OnStar came back with a P0AFA. Left the car idle while moving the couch and limped it home. Dealership said it was too late in the day but to bring it in Monday. Downloaded Voltage and its showing a voltage mismatch likely causing the codes, which makes sense.
Couldn't get the car out of park so guess it won't be driven to the dealership tomorrow rather I will need to get it towed (backed it in for this reason).
I'm guessing the dealer will try and replace pack 2, assuming they can find one. I was pleasantly surprised they could find a remanufactured one for pack 3 in about 3 weeks. Is there a world where GM wi push back on that?
I'd rather have the car than a buyout, especially since any buyout I expect will be pennies on the dollar compared to a new car cost. So what do we think is going to happen and what should I be fighting for?
