Consumer Description

2012 CHEVROLET VOLT CHARGING STATION HAS BURNED THE OUTLET IN MY GARAGE THREE TIMES. EACH TIME I HIRED AN ELECTRICIAN TO REPLACE BURNED OUTLET AND VERIFY IT IS WIRED PROPERLY. WHATEVER THE MALFUNCTION IS, IT DOES NOT TRIP THE GFCI. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. ATTACHED ARE SOME OF THE PICTURES I SUBMITTED TO GM PAC WHICH DENIED MY CLAIM.
