Consumer Description

My Bolt falls under the recall for a main battery pack defect that has resulted in several car fires. Chevy states we should part outside our garage if the car is parked and charged there. This is a major inconvenience to owning the car. I requested a buyback several months ago when they were being offered by Chevy. Since Ohio's Lemon Laws are poor I was denied. I had little faith Chevy could find the problem with software and I was correct.
