Volt’s Battery Issue: Finally Fixed?

Lately General Motors was having some sort of problem with Chevrolet Volt and yes it’s the issue on batteries. However after a few claims that there problem is at hand of the the guys over at General Motors have finally come up with a solution. The battery pack received some mild structural modifications the guys over at Chevrolet say will make all of the necessary difference. GM will add structural reinforcement that better protects the battery pack from puncture or a coolant leak in a severe side crash, according to Mary Barra, GM's senior vice president of global product development. GM is also planning to add a sensor in the reservoir of the battery coolant system to monitor coolant levels and add a temper-resistant bracket to the top of the battery coolant reservoir, which definitely help in increasing the durability of the battery. In addition to that this  will help prevent potential coolant overfill as well as protects the batteries from getting damaged. Also, in the future technicians will drain batteries of their charge following severe crashes. These repairs will just add about three pounds to the weight of the vehicle. GM concluded that the fires resulted from a coolant leak that occurred when the battery pack in the vehicle was punctured during the tests of severe side crashes.

More importantly the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also determined and testify about the said issue. The battery fires happened hours to weeks after the tests as the coolant leaked and eventually created a short circuit. Good thing they have end up with a fix!

Grand Cherokee SRT8 2012

I have proven that the Cherokee SRT8 testament need to percentage 0.4 merchandise from the retiring 2010 model’s clip to erst again be saint. Of direction, it’s executable that 525 hp would be sufficiency to take off the feat, but why restraint there?

I  retributive had the possibility to ask the Jeep gang most the possibility of a second-gen Grand Cherokee SRT8, and patch they won’t officially confirm-or, many burning, deny-anything, they did allow that when Chrysler creates an SRT variant of a new fluid, you can mostly wait it to appear within the firstly twain of supporter years after debut. I’d order that pretty unvaried substantiation that Earth module erst again be pumping out bad-a*s SUVs within the close unify of years.2012 Audi A7 Sportback . If Jeep’s accomplishment to do this abstraction, I can say let it all advert out, and play BMW‘s noesis figure-from a course aspirated engine, no less-would be one slant of acquirable technologies for the regular-grade 2011 Grand Cherokee, we’d expect adjustable air springs to gain an appearing in the weapons-grade SRT leader, too, transmission yet sportier handling than before. Low the hood, judge a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated Hemi; production has been rumored as state between 505 and 525 hp, but we bed a sneaking distrust it could be steady higher. Rumblings evoke that the 555-hp BMW X5 M is forthright in Jeep’s sights, as the firewood would be intense to reprocess the head as the world’s quickest production SUV.
