The recall for battery replacement is ridiculous! gm has a solution of limiting the usage of the vehicle and not giving an inclining of when it will be resolved. The vehicle must be parked outside and the charger unplugged. Now that summer is here the battery air conditioner is using the limited battery percentage giving me even more limitations.

Yesterday, 27 December, the vehicle was presented to capitol Chevrolet for service under this recall number 21v650 they did not repair anything. To the contrary, they reset software to gimp the vehicle battery capacity --and hence, range performance--to only 80%. The car is worse now than before they "fixed" it. No date set for actual repair, when already more than 4 months have elapsed. And in the meanwhile, gm continues to collect 100% lease payment on only 80% delivered car. Not acceptable.

The batteries that power my vehicle. The risk to me is spontaneous fire which could kill me and my passengers, burn my house down or cause me to have a car accident. The dealer identified the problem but does not have the parts to correct the problem and the dealer has no idea when they will be able to correct the problem. The only solution in the interim is to park the car away from everything and everyone and wait for the fire to initiate. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer. I want the dealer to reimburse me for the vehicle so that I don’t have to constantly live in fear and risk death.

Currently, my 2020 bolt has been recalled due to fire hazards. I contacted the local gm dealership north park Chevrolet (castroville TX) and was informed that there is no clarity on the exact part that needed to be replaced in order to make my vehicle safe. I later contacted gm [sr:9-6936321672], in order in inquiring when parts will be parts will be made available for replacement still tbd and no part numbers were provided. I informed gm that even when charging to the recommended 90% that my car gets very hot and makes a loud noise while plugged into the charger, but I was informed that there they are currently still working on a solution. It is unacceptable for an auto manufacturer to sell a vehicle this is a fire hazard is at a higher risk due to the warning signs that gm has ignored.

Battery has a high risk of fire. Gm refuses to initiate buyback according to CA lemon law.

Vehicle has a known fire hazard. Vehicle is unsafe to be operated in the way it was intended(and as sold to me). Limitations on charging make the vehicle unusable. Only way to make the vehicle usable, makes it a fire hazard. No remedy is available, which means the car is unusable with no end in sight. Unacceptable for a new vehicle.

National recall for potential battery fire that gm has known about for a while in their older chevy bolt electric cars and now the problem has spread to their newer models. Gm has placed restrictions on these cars for charging the battery and driving the car that it makes the vehicle unsafe to drive or even park near other vehicles or structures do to the potential of fire that could result in severe property damage, severe injury or even death.

I am filing a complaint with regards to the 2020 chevy bolt recall. When I purchased the vehicle in July 2021 from chevy, the 2020 model was not affected. They then issued a recall August 2021. I have been waiting patiently for the battery replacement; however, this has still not been remedied. When I contacted chevy online and my local dealer, they were unable to give me a timeline for when this will be fixed. As it has been >18 months, I am frustrated that this has not been resolved in a timely manner. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, david noyd.

Our chevy bolt was purchased in November of 2020 a recall was issued in August of 2021. We purchased this car for the battery size that could give us greater range. We owned a Nissan leaf before the bolt. The theoretical range of the bolt made it a better choice over a newer leaf. No real timetable to have the problem resolved.

On August 20, 2021, almost a year ago, my car was recalled and a repair was promised to restore the vehicle to original specifications. This has not occurred to date and all attempts to work with the manufacturer to repair, replace or repurchase this vehicle has been unsuccessful to my satisfaction. I would like the battery and propulsion system replaced to my satisfaction returning the vehicle to factory specifications. It was my understanding that chevy would not start manufacturing back up on new vehicle production until all cars in the recall were repaired. They have not done this.

Gm has stated in their NHTSA recall notice that my vehicle has the potential to burn down my home and has not provided any sort of fix or even a timeline to fix the problem. The recall states not to charge the vehicle in a garage. My home charger is located in the back of my garage and I do not have the ability to charge the vehicle outdoors without spending thousands to redo my home charging system. My garage is under my two story house, meaning a vehicle fire has the potential to destroy my entire home and kill everyone inside. Again, gm has made no offer to provide replacement vehicles or financial compensation for the home infrastructure changes that must be made to keep safely using the vehicle until a formal fix is announced, and any such repair would require being without the vehicle for weeks at a minimum. In summary, in order to abide by the stated interim recall instructions, my vehicle would be rendered useless as I would have no means of charging the vehicle. It is my hope that the NHTSA holds gm to account for their failures regarding this recall.

This recall advises not parking in my garage due to potential fire, it advises not charging to 100% due to likelihood of fire, . By not charging to 100% the car does not operate as intended. The richmond International airport posts a sign saying bolt vehicles may not park in their garage or it will be towed at the owners expense. My windshield has a crack the length of the windshield. Safe lite ordered a Chevrolet windshield more than 3 weeks ago and Chevrolet has not been able to provide safelite a windshield replacement. What alto dealer builds a car and does not stock replacement parts for obvious failure points! there is a recall on the floor mat sold by Chevrolet on the drivers side front. Chevrolet stated that the mat must be removed however parts are not available at this time as replacement. These failures are unacceptable and gm/Chevrolet should be mandated to buy back the car from the user immediately!.

I am filing a complaint against gm. The following info is from the nhsta website. Original recall date: Aug 20,2021. Manufacturer recall number n212345940. Nhtsa recall number 21v650. Recall status: recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. I have waited over a year for my replacement battery. Gm has seen an almost 15,000 vehicle surge in Bolt Ev and euv sales in the most recent financial quarter. And gm has announced increasing new bolt production by almost 400%. However, thousands of existing Bolt Ev owners are still waiting for replacement batteries. Gm continues to state that parts are not available. Clearly, with the surge in sales and gm’s plan to increase bolt production, parts are available. Existing bolt owners have suffered for years with defective batteries that none of us known if or when a battery will catch on fire and kill us or damage property. I urge the nhsta to put pressure on gm to replace defective batteries first before selling cars with nondefective batteries. I would not be complaining if gm was not clearly prioritizing profits over people. Gm is making nondefective batteries but makes existing bolt owners wait over a year for a replacement while gm takes in revenue and generates profit. The defective batteries catch on fire. None of the batteries existing bolt owners should have to wait this long for replacement batteries and suffer with anxiety and stress not knowing when or if their car battery will spontaneously ignite.

No fix available for vehicle next other recall part backorder.
