2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Fuel system Problems

“Gm recall due to battery fires affects this car. The recall solution to simply limit my driving to 90% of the range is abhorrent. My car is now less than 90% effective--there are destinations I can no longer reach in a single charge, and recharging is nowhere near as fast or ubiquitous as gas. Gm needs a solution that restores the full distance ability of this car, otherwise it's outright fraud.”

“On 2018-07-26 at approximately 2325h, vehicle was being driven at ~70mph northbound on I-95, the maine turnpike. Location was approximately 1/2 mile north of exit-32 (biddeford, me). Road conditions were good, temperatures in the mid-70f, humid. The owner's wife was driving, with her husband in the passenger seat. At the time listed, the vehicle sounded a warning chime, and rapidly lost power from highway speeds (70 mi/hr). Vehicle, with the exception of speed, was in control with brakes and steering, emergency flashers, and lights operating. …”

“Service engine light came on along with the message propulsion power reduced while driving on the freeway. I pulled off to the side and read what the warning light meant and decided to head home. I stopped on the way home at the grocery store and when I came back out and started the car the warnings were still there and then it wouldn't shift into gear. I kept getting a message that conditions were not right to shift and please put the car in park. (it would go into neutral) when I tried to shut the car off it wouldn't shut off. …”

“On the night of march 2, 2019 I was driving at about 50 MPH on a state highway when I suddenly, without warning, lost propulsion. A note came on on the dash indicating that I needed to pull over and put the car into park. Happily there was no traffic so that I was able to do so without an accident. I was unable to restart the car and put it into drive after that, so I called a tow truck. It was very cold waiting for the tow truck as the car had no heat. The car reported approximately 50% battery capacity the entire time. A sudden unexpected loss of propulsion is a dangerous event. …”

“Driving on the freeway (60-70mph) with the battery at or slightly above 50%, an alert sounded, and the battery level immediately went down to nearly zero. It estimated 10 miles left, but speed immediately decreased, and the accelerator stopped working. After rapidly coasting over to the shoulder, and within seconds, the car made a series of loud noises and completely stopped.”
