“The battery of my car is at risk of catching fire and i am concerned that my life and others are in danger. 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.”
NHTSA complaint #11433284, filed 2021-09“I am hoping to get a full refund on my car. When I bought it, I was never warned of the fire dangers. I park it in a carport and there is no other area where I park it. I worry every night because I can’t park far from other cars. Also, the carplay constantly freezes and the maps show completely different areas”
NHTSA complaint #11433409, filed 2021-09“I purchased this vehicle new in August of 2021. Two weeks after purchase, the vehicle's battery was placed on the recall list. I have had a software update installed on my vehicle, which limits my charging capacity to 80% of my capacity. I can't get any information from GM as to when my battery will be replaced or when I will be able to charge my car to 100% for trips. It's been 7 months and I am have not been able to use my vehicle's full range since I have had it.”
NHTSA complaint #11457825, filed 2022-03“About 1 month ago I picked up my daughter from school. Just as we exited the parking lot, there was nothing in front and the brakes came on and the car turned off and would not restart for a few minutes. The same day, we were on the way home I was traveling about 35mph. All of a sudden the brakes came on again. This time there was nothing in front but many cars behind, so I floored the accelerator the car tires screeched. I was less than a mile from home and made it without incident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11562166, filed 2023-12“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. …”
