Without any warning or physical impact, the central infotainment screen completely blanked out and suffered an irreversible hardware failure. This screen acts as the mandatory display terminal for the vehicle's rear-visibility backup camera, as well as the audio generation module for the vehicle's driver alerts. Because of this component failure, the vehicle is in direct non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards (fmvss): 1. Fmvss 111 (rear visibility): the vehicle completely fails to display a rear-view image when shifted into reverse, creating an immediate blind-spot hazard for pedestrians. 2. Fmvss 101 (controls and displays): all critical audible safety alerts, pedestrian alerts, and driver warning chimes have been entirely silenced. The manufacturer (general motors) and the authorized franchise dealership (f. H. Dailey Chevrolet) have acknowledged the failure and have the part on backorder, but refuse to fully cover the safety restoration under warranty or provide a temporary loaner vehicle. This forces the primary driver, a [xxx] senior citizen, to choose between total isolation or operating a hazardous, federally non-compliant vehicle. This appears to be a systemic manufacturing or design defect inherently tied to the internal hmi module architecture on the late-model Chevrolet Bolt Ev platform, rather than individual wear and tear. A formal investigation is requested to mandate a safety recall and enforce full manufacturer accountability. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
