Consumer Description

General Motors is making brand new Bolt ev/Euvs using batteries that are supposed to be used to fix cars that could potential catch fire. They stated that the old vehicles effected by the recall would be given priority. I have had a bolt EUV on reserve that has been waiting on a battery replacement for over a year. GM will not inform me or the dealership of when it might be repaired. Concurrently GM is making and selling new bolts that use the battery pack that could be used to fix the old bolts. It is criminal that they would allow dangerous vehicles to remain in public while they make brand new vehicles for profit using the part that could fix every single old vehicle. Based on GMs public response to the matter they are false advertising their response to “prioritize cars” that are already made that are faulty. Instead they are prioritizing new cars while leaving thousands of hazardous cars in dealer lots and on the street. If GM can make new batteries for new bolts and sell them then they can take care of the recall. I have had extensive conversations with several dealerships confirming that GM is shipping them new bolts while allowing defective bolts to sit for over a year. I have had conversations with GMs concierge desk where they confirm the same behavior. These actions by GM are fraudulent, dishonest, and a danger to the public.
