Some Chevrolet Volt owners report experiencing engine overheating issues due to several common causes. These include coolant leaks from components like the water pump, radiator, or hoses, which can lead to elevated temperatures. Additionally, malfunctioning radiator fans may fail to cool the engine effectively, while a failed thermostat can further contribute to overheating. Owners are advised to pay close attention to the vehicle's warning indicators, as the overheat alert activates at 255 degrees, and if ignored, can escalate to a risk of engine damage at 265 degrees, accompanied by a "turn vehicle off" message. To mitigate these risks, it is crucial for owners to regularly monitor coolant levels, ensure proper coolant flow, and promptly address any issues related to the radiator fans, thermostat, or coolant leaks.
