Consumer Description

Battery pack is a known fire risk, yet GM continues to delay replacing all packs. After a 5 month effort communicating with GM, I was offered a buy-back for my vehicle which was thousands below market value and not nearly enough to replace my vehicle with a similar electric vehicle. Now we are instructed to limit usage, range, and charging of our vehicles for a second time. It is unknown how long it will take GM to remedy this situation. In the mean-time, the vehicles pose a significant risk to life and structures.
