When I use the windshield washer fluid some of the vapors gets in the cabin. The fluid contains methanol and it is highly toxic.
I purchased this car last year and now already general motors has discontinued making them. Is there something wrong with car and why did they quit making them so soon? is there a safety problem with my car? is the battery a fire hazard?

Backup camera keeps going out screen turns black.
The system in question is the super cruise hands free driving system. There has been several instances where the system has swerved the vehicle without warning or reason. There have been several instances where the system has failed on mapped road. There have been several instances where the vehicle wouldn't drive in the center of the lane, but instead on the lines or too close to other vehicles. I have dash cam footage and cell phone footage of the system failing and can duplicate it without issue. The vehicle spent over 30 days at the dealer and they were unable to fix it. The message that will appear when the system intermittently won't activate is "super cruise unavailable" I have attempted to work with my dealer, gm, and onstar and nothing has been done to take my safety seriously or to fix the issue.
My backup camera and surround cameras are not working. I’m getting a triangle icon and camera icon with a line through it. It first appeared when I was backing out of my driveaway then the camera worked again briefly. Now the camera is not turning on at all.
As I drove my brand new 2022 bolt (in use 30 days) into garage, the dash check engine light came on with a notice "reduced power propulsion. " the battery was at about 50%. I tried to charge it and the dash indicated "charge complete. " the reduced power propulsion message is concerningly similar to the error from the previous bolt recalls that have resulted in fires. I took the car to my dealer and they have had it for 40 days and counting and say they don't know when it will be fixed nor do they know yet how to fix it.
2022 Chevrolet bolt. Consumer writes in regards to gm safety recall.
The bolt euv suddenly and unintentionally sped forward when being parked in our garage. My wife slammed on the brakes and stopped the vehicle before it could hit the garage wall. No damage occurred.
I am hoping to get a full refund on my car. When I bought it, I was never warned of the fire dangers. I park it in a carport and there is no other area where I park it. I worry every night because I can’t park far from other cars. Also, the carplay constantly freezes and the maps show completely different areas.
