Consumer Description

My car has not personally caught fire, yet. But there is a physical manufacturing defect with the high voltage battery system that causes these cars to catch fire while parked and charging. GM "fixed" the issue with a software update and multiple cars have still managed to catch fire despite being "fixed" and assured that the vehicles were safe to own and operate. It's only a matter of time before one of these cars kills someone and GM clearly is unwilling to do the right thing for the safety of their customers. You can not "fix" a manufacturing defect with a software update. GM clearly is incapable of doing the wright thing on their own and NHTSA needs to force them to take this safety issue seriously.
