Consumer Description

The battery in these vehicles is prone to catching on fire when charging, resulting in the complete destruction of the vehicle. GM has been failing to repair these vehicles for over a year. They have now issued a third recall for the same problem with no resolution and guidelines that require owners not to use their vehicles in any reasonable manner. This recall represents a serious danger to life and property, with a fire that could cost untold damages. These vehicles are unsafe, and GM is clearly unwilling or incapable of repairing the defect.
