Consumer Description
I recently took my vehicle to Carr Chevrolet 15005 SW Tualatin Valley Hwy, Beaverton, OR 97006 related to the ongoing Chevy Bolt recall, in particular the portion "Owners who have not visited their dealer to receive the original recall remedy should visit their nearest Chevrolet dealer to obtain this important software update, which includes a diagnostic check on the health of their vehicle’s battery system. After obtaining the software update, customers should still take the interim steps summarized above." I had only had the first of two software patches applied and the latest recall indicates I should indeed acquire the second patch. Despite my having an appointment with the reason noted being this software update, the service department attempted to refuse me service. They tried to convince me this software update was not needed, told me it would take a long time to apply and they'd have to try to fit me in, told me the software did nothing, and told me I should go home and not worry about it. This directly contradicts NHTSA and Chevrolet guidance and potentially puts me, my family, and my neighbors at risk. If this is representative of Chevrolet's response to the Bolt situation, this is very dangerous. At a minimum this dealership poses a danger to Oregon residents.
