ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Around 5 PM on 10/7/22 I was driving on Purcell Road in Manassas VA. The car has a 60% charge on it EV battery showing a range of around 170 miles. As I was driving I felt the Chevrolet Bolt stutter twice, as if it was loosing power. Then, when I stopped at the stop light at Purcell and Hoadly the car shifted into park and would not shift into any other gear, including neutral. Any attempts to shift would give an error warning "Conditions Not Correct for Shift" In addition to being unable to move the car out of the intersection, the car could not be shut down. Pressing the power button would make the screen flicker for a moment and then it would power itself back on with the same "Conditions Not Correct for Shift" error. Onstar was called about the problem and shortly after the police arrived to tow the car. The car was a traffic hazard since it could not be put into neutral to get it out of traffic. The car was taken to Lindsay Chevrolet Service Center (15605 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Woodbridge, VA 22191) for diagnostic and repairs. They have reported that the problem was a wiring harness.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was driving the vehicle approx 35mph on a surface street when it suddenly lost propulsion. There was no warning. The display suddenly showed 0 rand and 0% high voltage battery SOC. I had to cross multiple lanes of rush hour traffic with no propulsion to coast to a stop. Once parked the vehicle would not go in gear and would not move. It was towed to a dealer where a blown manual service disconnect lever (high voltage battery fuse) was found to be blown. The dealer determined the root cause to be a faulty level 2 charging station I used earlier in the day. After contacting the charging station vender there was no fault found with the station and no other complaints filed with its operation. The fuse blew 6 miles after being charged, not while it was charging. I asked for the dealer to contact Chevrolet engineering and they declined. I contacted Chevrolet customer service and was not able to speak with anyone that is familiar with their EV products.

Potential Consequences:
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.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
General Motors is making brand new Bolt ev/Euvs using batteries that are supposed to be used to fix cars that could potential catch fire. They stated that the old vehicles effected by the recall would be given priority. I have had a bolt EUV on reserve that has been waiting on a battery replacement for over a year. GM will not inform me or the dealership of when it might be repaired. Concurrently GM is making and selling new bolts that use the battery pack that could be used to fix the old bolts. It is criminal that they would allow dangerous vehicles to remain in public while they make brand new vehicles for profit using the part that could fix every single old vehicle. Based on GMs public response to the matter they are false advertising their response to “prioritize cars” that are already made that are faulty. Instead they are prioritizing new cars while leaving thousands of hazardous cars in dealer lots and on the street. If GM can make new batteries for new bolts and sell them then they can take care of the recall. I have had extensive conversations with several dealerships confirming that GM is shipping them new bolts while allowing defective bolts to sit for over a year. I have had conversations with GMs concierge desk where they confirm the same behavior. These actions by GM are fraudulent, dishonest, and a danger to the public.
