Consumer Description

My Bolt was purchased in Sept. 2019. It was not part of the initial NHTSA recall because it has a battery made in the U.S. However, Chevrolet still issued a company recall on it and performed a software update, evaluation of battery health, and installed an on-board diagnostic module. The "final fix" as it is called. Even though my battery appears to be safe, it has the same design, materials and similar manufacturing practices by the same company, as the cars that have caught fire. Now there has been a battery fire in a Bolt in Vermont that had the "final fix" installed. (Not my car, it's in another state) I am concerned that the battery problem is in the design and how it is built, not due to a faulty manufacturing contaminiation that could only occur in Korea. And I'm also concerned that the "final fix" is not sufficient to take care of the problem. I am asking you to investigate all the LG batteries in all the Bolts to determine if they truly are safe.
