Consumer Description

This is the second safety recall against the same models of the Chevrolet Bolt. GM already attempted to fix this once, and it did not work. You must demand that GM replace the entire battery pack in every Bolt that is affected by this recall. For the second time in less than a year, due to their own manufacturing issues, they have limited our mileage range, this time even less so. We're unable to park in our garage, and can only charge when the car can be supervised. These limitations have been placed on us without any details from GM on how we can obtain loaner cars/reimbursement for rental cars. This issue not only puts myself, my family and my livelihood at risk, but it also puts others around me at risk, as the car can catch fire when it's not even on. I'm scared to drive it at this point, so will be storing it. GM attempted to fix this once with software that was supposed to identify defective batteries. That obviously did not work. I no longer trust them to be able to identify which battery/specific cell within the battery is defective, and demand that they replace my entire battery pack.
