“Dash reflect excessive light onto windshield blinding driver. I have a turn from sr-95 south to I-15 north ramp and I am blinded while making the turn potentially causing a crash. Seems this has been a known issue since 2017 and no fixes has been mad.”
NHTSA complaint #11375733, filed 2020-11, 11,500 miles“Back up cam remains on after I put my car in drive. Also a loss of control of the infotainment console. You cannot lower the radio or control your climate control which means when the windshield is fogging up I cannot correct it.”
NHTSA complaint #11240560, filed 2019-07, 6,600 miles“I was attempting to charge this electric car at a greenlots ccs (480volt) charger in kennewick, washington. The car was parked and turned off. A blue arc of electricity shot out of the charger port on the car and came within an inch of my hand. I understand from people who know the science of electricity that I would have been killed if the arc touched my hand. The safety features on the car, the charger or both did not function properly. There is no time when an electric car should emit a lethal arc of electricity. …”
NHTSA complaint #11258530, filed 2019-09, 3,500 miles“Chevy bolt finished changing and then started to smoke from under the car. The sound of popping noises were heard and then 10 minutes later the car was engulfed in flames. The cars battery pack starting popping then exploded in flames.”
NHTSA complaint #11364692, filed 2020-10, 30,000 miles“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.”
