The recent coverage of the several issues GM has allegedly had to deal with involving Volt batteries have made some car owners fear for the quality of the batteries in their own cars, according to the news. Recent house fires and federal crash tests have triggered a national discussion on GM’s new electrical endeavor.

GM is reportedly taking several steps to correct the issues with the Volt batteries and keep owners safe from possible fires. While the federal regulators work along GM to come to a common ground concerning the defected batteries, the carmaker is assuring all owners will have a free loaner until the problems are eradicated.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the batteries that recently caught fire after crash tests. Although Chevrolet and GM agree on the safety of the electrical car, they admit that an extensive study should be undertaken so the safety of the novelty vehicle can be assured to all.

As a Los Angeles Car accident lawyer I notify readers that according to the reports, GM will be sending letters to all owners addressing the issue.

According to various news sources, an extensive investigation has begun because different reports of fires involving some of the batteries in the Chevrolet Volt vehicles have surfaced.

After the Government crash test, there’s a particular Volt battery pack that is being monitored by the NHTSA until it’s decided if the battery is safe to be used in the electrical GM vehicles.

The carmaker has stated that the Volt model is a safe car that wouldn’t present any risk to motorists or pedestrians while being operated and utilized normally.

The news reports that the Volt batteries that have presented fire risks are defected items. This shouldn’t be an issue involving every single Volt vehicle but rather a problem related to a low number of damaged lithium-ion batteries.

As a Los Angeles car accident lawyer I sincerely hope that the NHTSA along with GM will find the specific issue regarding the Volt batteries so the company will assess the situation in a timely manner.

According to the news and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Chevrolet has issued a recall alert for about 1,798 2012 GMC Savana vans. The article stated that the main issue behind the recall is the fact that the dual-stage air bags may end up not inflating properly nor promptly in the case of a frontal collision.

The NHTSA agency claims that the questionable vehicles violate the federal safety standards. According to the announcement, the recalled issues were allegedly manufactured between June and October of 2011.

The reports also stated that GM has already a certain date to notify owners of the affected vehicles. All recalled vans must be taken to the dealers so the faulty air bags can be replaced for free.

According to news from the consumer reports, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration known as NHTSA is investigating complaints regarding the Saturn Aura and its transmission. Engineers for the agency are looking into the numerous complaints stating that the vehicle fails to remain stopped when the driver selects the “Park” option.

Issues with Aura’s transmission have been investigated since 2007. The Office of Defect Investigation along with General Motors, believe that the transmission’s shifter cable is the real problem behind the various complaints. Also, the cover for the transmission may be wearing out perennially. This protection is essential for the metal wires so they won’t get spoiled and the shifting won’t be damaged.

Regardless of what the real issue is, there have been 100 complaints about minor accidents related to the problem. According to NHTSA seven of these reports claimed the transmission failure caused collisions.

The Saturn Aura maker, GM believes that this is a problem that only affects 2007 models even though the ODI thinks this is an issue that also comprehends the 2008 models. So far, 89,000 vehicles can be affected by the problem. GM and the agency are working together to come to a conclusion about what will be the best thing to do regarding this problem.

There was a report released from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration testing center that showed that the battery belonging to the Chevy Volt caught fire while stored in a garage. That was a strange coincidence since the vehicle with the burned battery had been in a crash related to a side-impact test three weeks before the fire.

Following the media frenzy linked to the electric car’s past failures, the NHTSA has issued a statement claiming electric cars do not pose more of a threat than traditional gasoline vehicles.
