There is not a specific incident with my own vehicle, but my complaint lies with all models, including my own, that have been determined to have a high fire risk, particularly the 2019 year model and manufacturing source of my battery.

Since about November of 2020 this vehicle has been under a recall, due to potential fire danger of the batteries. The interim solution was to not charge the battery above 90%.

I have a 2019 Chevy Bolt EV, with a potential for the High Voltage Battery to catch on fire.

Chevrolet has a major safety defect on their hands with the 2017-2019 Bolt EV. In 2020 a safety recall was issued on the Bolt EV around batteries catching fire in unattended new, low mileage vehicles. A temporary fix was assigned to restrict the battery's state of charge to 90%. After several month...
GM's recall solution is unacceptable and leaves consumers with virtually unusable vehicles if they follow GM's safety recommendations. This situation has been allowed to go on too long and we are lucky that no one has gotten hurt.
The battery in these vehicles is prone to catching on fire when charging, resulting in the complete destruction of the vehicle. GM has been failing to repair these vehicles for over a year. They have now issued a third recall for the same problem with no resolution and guidelines that require owners...

We have known that these cars have defective batteries for at least 8 months. GM has had plenty of time to fix the issue but they've waited around, endangering many and limiting the amount we can drive without being tethered to a charger. I leased this particular car because of the range. Now the ...
As a 2019 Bolt owner I am once again being asked by GM to limit my charging to 90%, do not charge unattended ( overnight while you sleep) , and do not park in the garage or carport. My family does not want to ride in my vehicle due to fire risks. Trade in values are greatly affected to any 2019 Bolt...
The car battery lit on fire and the car burned.
Owners of 2019 Bolts are being cautioned to keep their cars parked outside. Some 2019 Bolts have ignited even after both recall battery fixes. My Bolt can only be parked outside, very close to neighbors and under trees.
On May 11, 2021 I responded to GM's safety recall notice by bringing the car to a local Chevrolet dealer, who performed the service as per GM's instructions. Since then the battery has continued to charge or attempt to charge for several hours after it has been fully charged as indicated by the inst...
