r/volt

So I've been tearing my hair out researching this, and hoping the community can help.

I took my car in to the dealership for repairs recently because it was having issues where I couldn't get the car to move on electric, only gas - and even then with reduced power. Then eventually it wouldn't move at all and had to have it towed. The shop told me it was an issue with the BECM and it needed replacing for $2800.

Researching here and elsewhere, it seemed like this was covered by GM under TSB N232432680. However, the dealership is telling me only the Voltec warrants applies, which expired in 2024.

I also went to the GM Experience page and tried to find warranty information, but it says it could find my VIN??

I'm the second owner on this car, we both live in WA State if that's relevant. It's a 2016 Volt with 121k miles. Is there anyone I can do, or am I SOL? Any help greatly appreciated!

I don't have the ability to plug in at my apartment but there are 4 free charging stations at my workplace that i go to maybe 3 times a week. I've never had a plug in hybrid but I used to drive a prius and loved it.

the car is a 2014 with 76k miles. I offered $7k and he accepted, it was originally listed for 11k 5 months ago, then reduced to 8.5k, I guess he needs to get rid of it now.

I live in Minnesota and would be parking the car in the freezing cold outside.

Overall the car is in good shape with a few dings and I like it.

is this a good deal?
