NHTSA Complaint #11427010 — 2019 CHEVROLET BOLT EV

There is not a specific incident with my own vehicle, but my complaint lies with all models, including my own, that have been determined to have a high fire risk, particularly the 2019 year model and manufacturing source of my battery. The recently re-activated recall (NHTSA# 21V560) indicates that GM has again recognized the risk of danger but has failed to address the manufacturing defects within their battery systems in a timely manner. After recognizing a battery fire risk over a year ago, GM's initial recall fix was insufficient to effectively reduce the risk of fire and potential harm to property and people. During the previous recall, GM had recommended a reduction of charge to reduce the risk of fire and during this re-issue of the recall has recommended even more restrictions on the charging levels and logisitics of when and how to charge the battery safely. These recommendations over the life of this extended recall has drastically reduced the function and capabilities of the vehicle as implied by GM when I originally purchased the vehicle. Essentially, the safety of my vehicle and therefore of my property and family is at risk, and despite the recent recall, GM has not moved quickly to address this issue by repairing the vehicle to reduce the risk of fire.
