Consumer Description
THE 120V CHARGING CORD THAT CAME WITH THE VOLT HAS CRACKED AND FRAYED, EXPOSING ELECTRICAL WIRES TO THE ELEMENTS AND CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. SEE PHOTO OF CORD CONDITION. THE CHARGER IS A NECESSARY ELEMENT TO USING AN ELECTRIC-HYBRID VEHICLE. WE ASKED THE CHEVY DEALER FROM WHOM WE BOUGHT THE VOLT (SEE BUSINESS CARD PHOTO) TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT CHARGER, AND THEY REFUSED TO. THIS EQUIPMENT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE FIRE HAZARD, AND ITS CONDITION SHOULD NOT HAVE RESULTED FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.
