Defect Description:

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

My Bolt was purchased in Sept. 2019. It was not part of the initial NHTSA recall because it has a battery made in the U.S. However, Chevrolet still issued a company recall on it and performed a software update, evaluation of battery health, and installed an on-board diagnostic module. The "final fix" as it is called. Even though my battery appears to be safe, it has the same design, materials and similar manufacturing practices by the same company, as the cars that have caught fire. Now there has been a battery fire in a Bolt in Vermont that had the "final fix" installed. (Not my car, it's in another state) I am concerned that the battery problem is in the design and how it is built, not due to a faulty manufacturing contaminiation that could only occur in Korea. And I'm also concerned that the "final fix" is not sufficient to take care of the problem. I am asking you to investigate all the LG batteries in all the Bolts to determine if they truly are safe.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I was denied the buyback by GM due to the weak lemon law in the state of Michigan. GM should be replacing these batteries if they are not allowing a buyback or trade up. There were 16,418 Bolts produced in the US-market for the model year 2019. If I take a ballpark half of the vehicles with Korean cells, and half of the vehicles produced with cells in Holland Michigan (The Holland cells not having the defect), to-date we are looking at 5 in 8,209 cars catching fire due to the battery defect. That translates to 1 in every 1,641 2019-model-year Korean-cell Bolts catching fire, to-date. Statistically, this number cannot go down. This represents a much higher percentage than what GM is publicly stating. This is a much higher, unacceptable risk. I do not have faith in a software update and battery voltage spread test for the latest "fix." GM is very secretive on what the defect or defects are. A battery may test fine today, as it made it into the production vehicle and passed the test then. Though, tomorrow it may fail due to the defect. When it fails, I don't want my family to be anywhere near it. Please hold GM's feet to the fire on this to prevent the possibility of the unsuspecting consumer to get burned.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

My car is in the Chevy Bolt recall due to battery fires. Many months ago Chevy took away 5 to 10% of my e-MPG in order to lessen the likelihood of fire. When I heard they had a fix, I immediately called. I was told I will not be able to have my car checked and repaired/restored until November. This is an inordinately long time to be driving a car on recall due to possible battery fire.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

The center touchscreen will intermittently freeze when started and not recover when driving. When this occurs the HVAC and radio hard buttons also stop responding which prevents control of the defrost, creating a visibility hazard that could result in a crash. Sometimes the freeze will result in the backup camera remaining on while driving forward. When in reverse the freeze results in the backup camera guidelines, parking collision warning and rear cross traffic warning being unavailable. Failure of these systems intended to prevent collisions is a safety hazard because unavailability of these systems could result in a collision. The freezing did not occur frequently when the vehicle was new, but over time this has become a frequent occurrence. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The problem has been reproduced by a dealer and been subject to repair twice, but the issue has continued to occur after each repair attempt. The vehicle was subject to bulletin 20-NA-119 which was intended to correct radio screen black/freezes after boot up, but this does not appear to have resolved the issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Re: GM Recall Number N202311731 I am dissatisfied with the GM’s response to this recall that addresses fires involving their battery charging system in the Chevy BOLT. The long-awaited final remedy is a setup for failure. Installing a software monitoring system to look for the theoretical cause of the problem is inadequate and fails to protect consumer safety. They allege, without providing consumers with the undisclosed engineering analysis that underpins their solution, that this is the best they can offer. Their plan is to monitor for electrical aberrations in the cars’ electrical/battery system instead of replacing the faulty system. By analogy this is like a home builder acknowledging that they installed faulty wiring in your home that does not meet code and there have been a number of fires. However, instead of replacing the faulty wiring, they are installing a monitoring system that looks for changes in resistance or areas of high temperature in your walls and shuts down your power before they think your house will explode into flames. GM has not provided any testing in the real world of this "remedy", and asks that we trust their engineers. I would like to see an independent assessment of this, not paid for by Chevrolet or GM. I have no confidence in this or with GM's assertions that it is the best they can do to protect the safety of the public. As a health and safety professional, I am appalled at this solution at its acceptance. I cannot believe that this would be approved as a remedy for an aircraft problem. The more recent and less publicized Boeing MAX airliners’ electrical problems require replacement of the bonding between electrical panels and their contacts. NHTSA should demand full disclosure of all studies done for GM’s BOLT recommendation, and publication on the NHTSA site for a period of public comment. I adamantly reject that this has been conducted by GM in a transparent manner or that it is the safest response. Thank you

Corrective Action:

Re: GM Recall Number N202311731 I am dissatisfied with the GM’s response to this recall that addresses fires involving their battery charging system in the Chevy BOLT. The long-awaited final remedy is a setup for failure. Installing a software monitoring system to look for the theoretical cause of the problem is inadequate and fails to protect consumer safety. They allege, without providing consumers with the undisclosed engineering analysis that underpins their solution, that this is the best they can offer. Their plan is to monitor for electrical aberrations in the cars’ electrical/battery system instead of replacing the faulty system. By analogy this is like a home builder acknowledging that they installed faulty wiring in your home that does not meet code and there have been a number of fires. However, instead of replacing the faulty wiring, they are installing a monitoring system that looks for changes in resistance or areas of high temperature in your walls and shuts down your power before they think your house will explode into flames. GM has not provided any testing in the real world of this "remedy", and asks that we trust their engineers. I would like to see an independent assessment of this, not paid for by Chevrolet or GM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I just want the battery pack to be replaced with one that does not catch fire due to manufacturing defects. Nearly all of the fires have been 2019 model years. There were 16,418 Bolts produced in the US-market for the model year 2019. If I take a ballpark half of the vehicles with Korean cells, and half of the vehicles produced with cells in Holland Michigan (The Holland cells not having the defect), to-date we are looking at 5 in 8,209 cars catching fire due to the battery defect. That translates to 1 in every 1,641 2019-model-year Korean-cell Bolts catching fire, to-date. Statistically, this number cannot go down. This represents a much higher percentage than what GM is publicly stating. This is a much higher, unacceptable risk. GM needs to be replacing these defective batteries, or we will continue to see more fires. A software update and battery voltage check is unacceptable, as these defective cells made passed the test to make it into these cars in the first place.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

AT APPROXIMATELY 4 AM ON 10/6/2020, WE (MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN) WOKE UP TO AN EXPLOSION. I RAN TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS AND SAW SMOKE ENTERING OUR HOME UNDER THE DOOR GOING OUT TO THE GARAGE. I GRABBED MY CHILDREN AND GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE AS FAST AS I COULD. WHEN I OPENED THE FRONT DOOR OF MY HOUSE TO GO OUTSIDE, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING OUT THE FRONT OF THE GARAGE AND THE GARAGE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WE RAN ACROSS THE STREET TO OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE AND I CALLED 911, BY THIS TIME, OUR ENTIRE GARAGE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. OUR 2019 CHEVY BOLT WAS PLUGGED IN CHARGING IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT, AS I HAVE DONE REGULARLY SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2019 WITHOUT ISSUE. AFTER CALLING 911, THERE CONTINUED TO BE A BUNCH OF LOUD 'POP' SOUNDS AND ANOTHER SMALLER EXPLOSION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, AND WHILE THEY WERE ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE PRIOR TO THE FLAMES SPREADING TO THE REST OF THE HOUSE, OUR ENTIRE HOUSE IS A TOTAL LOSS FROM SEVERE SMOKE AND WATER DAMAGE AND BLACK SOOT COVERING EVERY INCH OF THE HOUSE. ALSO, MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM THAT 'SHARES' THE GARAGE WALL WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE SMELL IN THE ENTIRE HOUSE IS INDESCRIBABLE, I IMAGINE WORSE THAN A 'REGULAR' HOUSE FIRE BECAUSE IT HAS A CHEMICAL SMELL TO IT. THE COUNTY FIRE INVESTIGATOR DETERMINED THE ORIGINATION WAS IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE, AND SINCE THE INCIDENT, THERE HAS BEEN AN INVESTIGATION WHERE MULTIPLE FIRE INVESTIGATORS, ENGINEERS FROM GM AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM NHTSA ALL WERE PRESENT TO INVESTIGATE AND REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE GARAGE. WE, PERSONALLY, HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPORTS FROM THIS EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION TO THE CAUSE.
