A lawsuit against General Motors and its battery maker LG Energy Solution over the defective batteries connected to more than a dozen Chevrolet Bolts catching fire is heating up as GM and LG filed motions to dismiss.
The lawsuit accuses the automaker and several of LG’s entities, including LG Michigan, of consumer fraud for failing to identify the defect and find a fix that would allow the car to be used as it was advertised when people bought it.
