Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2012 Chevrolet Volt keeps to one configuration, a Base four-door hatchback with the 1.4L inline-four plug-in hybrid engine of 85 cubic inches, DOHC and naturally aspirated on gasoline, which makes the book unusually direct. There is no engine option to disambiguate and no trim-specific driveline. What varies is the depth of the systems involved, from the fueling and ignition of a small four-cylinder to the high-voltage propulsion and braking hardware the hybrid layout brings with it.

Known issues on the 2012 Volt. Two recalls stand on the federal record. In one, a brake pressure modulator valve can fail to release pressure at the front brakes during an anti-lock, stability or traction event, so a front brake stays locked, steering control suffers and the stopping distance stretches. In the other, a car left switched on can drain its battery until the engine restarts on its own to recharge, which is dangerous in an enclosed space. Complaints run to 245: 79 on the electrical system, 77 on air bags and 20 on the power train.
