Consumer Description

My car is going through the second recall for batteries. The initial fix of a software update was unable to remedy the issue, and now there is another recall with no timely resolution. Chevy's recommendation to not charge my car at night and not use a significant portion of the battery significantly impacts the usefulness of the car. I will try to adhere to the recommendations, but I'm not 100% confident this will prevent a potentially dangerous fire. Chevy should move quickly to buy back affected vehicles at a price that will allow owners to replace their cars with a safer alternative. It is unacceptable that Chevy is putting so many people at risk by not resolving this issue.
