1 Software problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2008

I am filing this report on behalf of the vehicle owner. Owner name is cathie dakel. I am a private electric vehicle service person, and have identified two software defects in the battery pack management system used in the 1997-1998 model Chevrolet s-10ev electric truck. The vehicle noted in this complaint had been completely destroyed by a fire that began while the vehicle was charging at a public vehicle charging station. I believe the fire was a result of one of the two known software program defects. I had previously contacted general motors regarding these suspicions, and have not received a reply as to whether they have interest in investigating the fire, and if the software program defects will be resolved. This is the third of three vehicle fires occurring during charging within a six month period.
