How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

My relative with the Bolt was literally warned to not drive it until they could get parts to deal with the seat belt fire (yes, that’s one of the two fire related recalls), which took almost a month. You tell me how that’s not a problem for, say, working people.
GM did not ask drivers to stop operating the vehicle. It was not part of the recall instructions. Another imaginary concern.
I can only relay what I was told by the owner. They were fortunate enough to have another vehicle, so they made it work for the time it was grounded, but go off, you clearly know what every owner of the hundreds of thousands of Bolts out there were told by every dealership. Since you’re omniscient, can you hook me up with the Powerball numbers for the next drawing?
No, actually, you can do much better than, charitably, mis-remembered hearsay. Especially considering how committed you seem to be to spreading misinformation. For example:

You can read the recall letter impacted owners got here, page 14, including the onerous instructions that owners schedule a service appointment. You'll see, or actually not see, any instruction that vehicles not be used.
