Consumer Description

Part of the charging element - the metal clip- locks up and will not allow the car to be plugged in to charge. According to Chevrolet dealer this is a known issue but customers have not been notified by GM. They do not have a fix other than taking the car to the dealer and doing a factory reset. This is dangerous for people who may not discover the problem until their car is too low on miles/charge and may not be able to get it reset. It is happening multiple times, even after dealer reset.
