While driving on the interstate car suddenly flashed a "reduced propulsion power " warning indicator. At this time the car was speed limited and made us a liability on the interstate. We were about 80 miles from our home so ended up driving the car back home being speed limited. Took car into the shop and was told the egr valve was bad which kept causing the "no walk fuse" to blow. Ended up having the egr valve, gasket and cap replaced. All together with labor total for repair was $1,738 on a car that we had only been driving for a year. Bad egr valves seem to be very commonplace for 2nd generation chevy volts but it seems gm refuses to do anything about this issue. I have no plans to every purchase another gm vehicle. Very frustrated!
