Consumer Description

As indicated on the previous page, there are unresolved recalls on the battery of my 2017 Chevrolet Bolt. This recall presents a life safety hazard to myself, my family, and my home. The recall indicates it is unsafe to charge my car unattended, and it is also unsafe to park the car in my home garage because the battery may melt or catch fire. This defect is known by GM. The car has had all available recall patches applied (will attach receipts). I have been in contact with GM customer service since May about this issue requesting a repurchase of the car or replacement of the car with a current year model at equal trim level. Original recall was November 2020, second recall April 2021, current recall July 2021. I have also filed complaints with the Attorney General of MD Consumer Protection Division and the Better Business Bureau.
