Consumer Description
The high voltage battery has a possible defect that can cause the car to burst into flame without warning. December 2020 - 2020 Chevy bolt purchased with open recall on Chevy Bolt batteries February 2021 - Received letter from GM that the newly purchased car is dangerous and must not be parked inside nor used for more then 50% of it's range [no contact from GM or the local dealer for over 2 years on satisfying the recall] March - 2023 - Contacted the local GM dealer and was told not to contact them again until I get a second letter from GM stating they can repair the defect March 2023 - Contacted GM directly and was handed off to a California specific agent. The agent was clear - There is no repair for this recall at this time. I now have a car that is approaching 3 years old labeled as dangerous by GM and the NHTA yet there remains no timeline for repair or remediation. It is unacceptable to have a continuing known danger to the owner and public at large for years with no remediation and no remediation timeline.
