Consumer Description

Last week, we had our 2019 Bolt serviced at a dealership - they had "replaced drive motor battery high voltage manual disconnect" and did some sort of check on the "high voltage battery." We had also showed them a message we got from On Star that an "issue had been detected with the electric drive unit" and get it serviced within seven days. We bought the Bolt in the Fall of 2019 and it has less than 5,000 miles on it. We are on the waitlist for the LIB recall. 6 days after getting the car back from service, my wife was driving the car when suddenly the car went completely dead. Fortunately, she was not on the highway where she could have been killed, but on a quiet suburban street. I came over to assist and we arranged to have it towed to the Chevy dealership. After the Bolt stopped running, my wife again received the message saying "issue had been detected with the electric drive unit." They are now working on the Bolt. They are telling us that the problems are (1) the 12 volt battery has low state charge power and needed to be replaced and (2) there is a "faulty accessory power module" which they have ordered a part for. They do not think it is LIB related. They are not sure what "electric drive unit" means and will need to check with Chevrolet.
