Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION 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.

GM issued a recall for fires on 20 August 2021. I immediately called to have the vehicle returned via their team and was given case SR:9-6888176701. GM has ignored five emails for update and many many phone calls have gone unanswered from my representative. Calls to the generic line have stated I would be contacted within 48 hours twice with no call or email. GM now says you cannot park within 50 feet of cars, your home or be inside your garage or even use the battery fully without risk of fire that would burn down the car and possibly your home or the cars around it. GM Needs to buyback all the bolt vehicles on the road

The car does not meet my needs anymore as GM has decreased the number of miles it may be driven and thus is not the vehicle I purchased. GM is taking too long to discuss options for me to get rid of this dangerous vehicle and i am concerned for safety of my life and others.

Recall Date: Sep 16, 2021
General Motors, Llc
Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
As everyone knows right now, the Bolt has been recalled due to fire safety issues with the battery. This recall was issued last Friday...I purchased the car on Tuesday...pretty hard to believe that the executives at GM weren't very aware of this issue three days earlier. Today they suspended sales of my Bolt (2022 EUV Premier)...a little too late. Per GM's recommendations, I have: 1. Reduced the maximum battery charge to 90% (or a reduction of 25 miles from 250-225) 2. I am charging the car outside, and parking the car outside as well. 3. We can no longer drive the car with less than 70 miles left of range. With the new range restrictions, the car has gone from a 250 miles range to about 155...or nearly 40%. I would never have purchased the car with such a short range. My wife won't drive the car for fear of being burned alive. I live in the canyons of Los Angeles...should this car catch fire, it could easily endanger the entire community (one road in/out) creating massive loss of life and property. Including mine! There has been no communication from the dealer, and I initially heard of the recall when clients of mine sent me texts about it...still haven't gotten any direct communication from General Motors. This battery replacement issue won't be resolved anytime soon...they have to design new cells and manufacture them for over 100,000 cars...and then install them. So, and this is just a guess, I'd be amazed if this gets fixed before next summer...I'll be driving a crippled and dangerous car. GM should offer to buy back my car, and reimburse me for all my associated costs/payments at this point. I don't want it anywhere near my home.
