Consumer Description

I have a 2019 Chevy Bolt EV, with a potential for the High Voltage Battery to catch on fire. There was a first recall back in Nov. 2020, Manufacture states that there was a final fix for the High Voltage Battery. I took the vehicle in for the final fix. Recently there was a 2019 Chevy Bolt that caught on fire with the final fix for the recall. Now there’s a second recall for the same issues, now I can NOT park my car inside the garage and not charge it at night, because of a potential for the vehicle to change on fire. I have 2 boys that lives about the garage and I live in a Townhouse. This recall is a safety problems for everyone, it poses a safety risk while the vehicle is charging. The vehicle is a safety hazards to the public and building structures.
