Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:CHARGING:CABLE/CORD:ONBOARD filed August 12, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1832961 (ODI reference 11479007) concerns a 2019 CHEVROLET BOLT EV and was filed on August 12, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 14, 2022. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:propulsion system:charging:cable/cord:onboard, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET BOLT EV cohort independently describe similar electrical system:propulsion system:charging:cable/cord:onboard failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 CHEVROLET BOLT EV shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
After my recalled battery was replaced, the car will not allow charging,. The message charging port not available. I have gone to the dealer where they override the message to allow charging but it is only temporary and the next time battery is low, it requires a return to dealer to unlock the charging port. It happened first time July 14 and then again Aug 4. Customer care at GM says it is a known problem and they will notify when a fix is available. They are no use in resolving this problem that can lead to cars stopping mid drive , I have attempted to reach a higher level at GM and they are hidden,
