a couple of people on the Chevy Volt Owners page have had this happen. I'm at 31,269 on my 2012 and so far nothing. fingers crossed, but that's what the GMPP is for! :-)

I hear the noise you described on a decel motion only because I always have my radio off. I am not concerned about it at this very moment. Having so much fun driving it that I forgot about my M5. I love the Volt! Sometimes my wife is wondering if I really bought the car for her or for me to play with.

My 2012 Volt had that bearing replaced at 19K miles. According to the dealer, it is a "Known defect" with early Volt models. There is a GM service bulletin on it. It took my dealer over 1 week to fix it. So far, I have put on another 6K miles on it with no problem....

GM was on top of it and dealer did a good job fixing it while gave me a rental car (gas).

Apparently, it is "popular enough" that there is an internal service bulletin with pictures and specific tools and instruction on how to fix it. The dealer told me that the later 2013 model had this issue fixed completely and my repair had the "improved" parts and design installed.

My 2013 had a bearing failure at 115,000 miles and made the loud whining noise. I first took it to a service center and they gave a cost of almost $1400. I called GM and they offered to pay 40%. I waited over 8 days and my car was never touched. I had to take the car so I could return home. The car stayed in a garage for over a year before I was able to take it to another service center. This new service center now says they need to replace the complete transmission for a cost of $5500. I called GM and this time they refuse to pay anything. I am now stuck with a car that cost almost as much to repair as its book value, so it looks like scrap value is my bets option. You can be sure this is the last GM product I will ever buy or recommend.
