Consumer Description

Chevy has not managed the recall very well as the fire risk with the battery is a KNOWN issue from years ago, and yet the company tried to fix it with software. Fixing with software is impossible as it is a hardware issue. The safety of our family is compromised by owning this vehicle, and the company has been very difficult to reach for a buyback.
