Consumer Description

I received a recall notification regaring our 2020 Chevy Bolt which was purchased only six months ago. Not only is Chevy not providing any indcation as to when our car will have its battery replaced (the dealer suggests it could have six months or longer), their proposed interim fixes are completely unacceptable and unworkable. If we cannot charge the car more than 90% and if we cannot go below 70 miles, the effective range has been reduced by roughtly 50% or about 100 miles which frustrates the entire reason we purchased this car (we commute approximatel 120 miles round trip each day). They are not offering to provide a rental or substitute car nor are they offering to take the car back and I'm now stuck with a poorly made hunk of metal and lithium with no idea when we will be able to use the car again.
