Consumer Description

Due to the 2 recalls on my car and the expansion of the recall to 2020-2022 Bolts, I have lost all confidence in the safety of my 2019 Chevrolet Bolt. And I have lost complete confidence in Chevrolet's ability to fix this in a timely matter. Since my charger is in my garage, the Bolt is close to the garage (and house) during charging. Plus the main bedroom is above the garage. Even when it is not charging, the Bolt is still very close to my garage, main bedroom, and house. In addition, I live near the mountains in the foothills. It is a high fire danger area. If something happened to the Bolt, it could cause a lot of damage to my neighbors and surrounding area. Given all of this, Chevy should be buying these cars back at a premium to help us buy other cars and "be whole" again. This is an absolutely disaster and bordering on criminal given the number of explosions. How long must be wait until someone gets seriously hurt from this? What if a child is near the car when it burns or, even worse, is in a burning car? If someone gets hurt or dies from this, it is definitely on Chevrolet but also NHTSA for not being more aggressive on getting these cars off the road and out of driveways.
