Consumer Description
My 2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier has the battery made in Korea that is part of the current investigation Chevrolet is doing, announced yesterday July 14, 2021. This is the announcement from Chevrolet: JULY 14 2021 IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM GENERAL MOTORS General Motors has been notified of two recent Chevrolet Bolt EV fire incidents in vehicles that were remedied as part of the safety recall announced in November 2020. Out of an abundance of caution, we are asking owners of 2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EVs who were part of the recall population to park their vehicles outdoors immediately after charging and not leave their vehicles charging overnight while we investigate these incidents. This has been a known problem for several months, since November 2020, as noted in Chevrolet's announcement above. I limited my charging to 90% the minute the news broke about the possibility of a battery fire. I have had "the remedy" done to my car, which is all that one can do at this point. live in a condo building in a busy downtown setting and my only parking spot is two levels underground. It is both unsafe and very costly/inconvenient for me to have to park on the street at meters while waiting to hear ANYTHING from Chevy regarding next steps. I want to get my situation on your radar, as I am sure many other Bolt owners do. I want to stop worrying about the potential of a fire that would kill or maim any person or living creature, destroy any property, especially my home, my neighbors' homes, cars, etc. HELP!
