I just bought my 2022 EV a little over a month ago. Wondering if Washington Lemon Law could get me a buyback since there's no way in heck that the issue will be fixed in 30 days. At this point I'd prefer it, and to move into something else. LOVE The 22 Bolt- but NOT loving the situation. At all.

With a 2020P which I love and don't do deep discharges or charge it fast so figure it will be a long wait for a recall as I'm not in the higher priority group. They have mode lots of Volts and don't recall battery fires being any kind of issue with them.

It appears to me the Bolt is cross threaded

I would not want to be manning the EV Consierge Line right now.

Poor Darcy B and Diana…..

I just accepted an offer for a buyback of my 2019 LT and got my local chevy dealership to fetch me a EUV.
Dammit…..

😩😤😩😤

Yeah.... So if we just got new EUVs... can we get out of these now? Because this recall is going to take forever with over 100k+ cars and having to produce all new cells and wait for those to be manufactured.

wondering the same thing. Owned my Bolt just over a month. NOT enthused.

This Volkswagen ID.3 burst into flames after a woman from the Dutch city of Groningen disconnected it from the curbside charger.

Soo they are going to replace these LG modules with...more LG modules?

Yeah- they don't have any other battery mfg. partners.

 

[desiv]

Here's the good thing from my perspective.
If it takes a year or so (assuming my car doesn't catch fire), then my 5+ year old Bolt with over 100K by then, will probably get a new battery. ;-)

 

[TylerB]

Yeah- they don't have any other battery mfg. partners.

Yeah, but trust us guys - we got it right this time. Yeah, I know about the last time - but trust us, we mean it for real this time.

My wife just sent me a link. I was happy till now, not sure how I'll handle it. I'm not particuarly concerned as I have only run mine down below to 38 miles one time and very seldom below half. Mostly leave it plugged in but only use 12A charger. I charge to 85 or 90 percent most all of the time. Leaving in a few days for a 18 day motorcycle trip and trying to sort out how to handle it. Don't want to leave it outside but may have wife charge it outside but park inside when not charging.

I'm planning on mostly parking my Bolt the next few months. Just did a target charge to 50% and leaving it alone...unplugged. As long as it doesn't get cold this is probably the safest bet. Lithium is happy at 50%.

 

[golden-berg]

They were very professional and nice a month ago when I initiated my buyback. But the volume is going to be even higher now.

Why -oh -why did I get a 21 Bolt when they finalized the buyback of my 2018 3 months ago?

 

[ARob]

Yeah- they don't have any other battery mfg. partners.

Perhaps a few of these, surely they can work out a deal: 🤪

 

[Randy757]

I am in the same boat as p7wang, not sure just how long this will take for my recall to get done.

 

[Godspeed]

LG Chem might go Bankrupt on this one. Just like Takata did with the air bag recall. Hyundai already is doing a total recall on all of their LG Chem packs.
GM will need a new partner for the to-be-released Ultium packs as well, because LG was part of the Ultium too.

 

[don731]

Maybe GM will find it easier to just buy us out of our lease.....it's only four months old.

 

[seattlite]

I'm thinking it's a fundamental design/architecture issue. Before we get good batts.... They are gonna have to redesign.... That's gonna take a while.

 

[Pezkingltj]

I wonder if Mach-E's and VWs will also have to go through a recall like Hyundai Kona's did due to LG Chem batteries and this issue.
