After the U.S. government requested an investigation of battery fires in the Chevrolet Volt now offers the GM to buy back cars from worried owners.
It was after a crash test with electric hybrid Chevrolet Volt earlier
this year that the car's battery caught fire after the car has been
erected in three weeks. Another fire occurred after a crash test in the
fall.
GM said a month ago that you have not yet established procedures for how the batteries in the breakdown volt-cars will be handled.
In Monday offered manufacturer GM to lend replacement cars to worry Volt
owner as long as the investigation is ongoing. On Thursday, said GM
boss Dan Akerson that the company is offering to buy back the Volt cars
if the owners are worried.
According to the newspaper Detroit News, however, only a few people
heard of about lanebil, and no one wanted to sell back their Volt.
Consumer organization Consumer Reports reported on Thursday a study
showing that Volt owners are the most satisfied car owners in the U.S.
The survey was made before the issue of battery safety has become
public.
Sales of the Volt have not met expectations. Total during the year only
just over 6000 cars sold. The goal was to sell 10,000 cars this year
and as much as 60,000 cars next year. Of these, 45,000 were sold in the
U.S. and 15,000 for export. In Europe, the cars will be sold under the
name Opel or Vauxhall Ampera.
