Consumer Description

We own a 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV which has once again been recalled due to battery fires. We are not limited to how we charge our vehicle, where to hark and limited to 60% of the mileage range that we paid for while we wait to see if GM can fix this issue. Replacing individual cells in a dirty auto dealers show in a battery that was built in a clean room does not seem like a good idea. I'm not comfortable that GM can be successful identifying whether or not my battery is defective. This is a serious safety issue. My family, our home, people and property where I drive and park are all at risk. I no longer feel comfortable driving this car. The restrictions on charging are onerous. We are on Time of Use for our electricity so that we can charge at night when it is cheaper. Now we are told we have to charge during peak hours at triple the cost. We can't park in the garage so the vehicle is sun damaged and the battery is overheated while sitting all day in the hot SoCal sun. We also are at high risk for damage to the wiring from rats now. We already have an issue with the rats eating the wires in our RV. GM must be forced to replace the entire battery pack in every vehicle affected by this recall. They must provide loaner vehicles or details on reimbursement for rental cars.
