Consumer Description

I have called the Chevy dealer (Gilchrist, Tacoma, WA) more than 5 times in the past year in addition to the Chevy Concierge regarding the unrepaired recall for fire risk. I have followed all of the interim charging guidelines yet still have significant fear and anxiety that my house will catch on fire while the car is being charged. In addition, there is compromised range to the vehicle due to the modifications with charging and I incur great expense by being forced to use commercial charging stations for routine long distance trips.
