Owner report 10452948 · 2012-03-26 (March 26, 2012)

OUR VOLT WAS LEFT OVERNIGHT TO CHARGE USING THE SUPPLIED 120V LEVEL ONE CHARGE CORD THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE (THEREFORE I CONSIDER IT PART OF THE VEHICLE.) IN THE MORNING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT CHARGED -- AT SOME POINT DURING THE NIGHT THE CHARGE FAILED AFTER THE BATTERY ACCUMULATED JUST 5 MILES OF ESTIMATED RANGE. THE SOCKET INTO WHICH THE CHARGE CORD HAD BEEN PLUGGED, THE RECEPTACLE OF A KILL-A-WATT CHARGE MEASURING DEVICE, WAS SCORCHED AND PARTIALLY MELTED. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE AT THE POINT WHERE THE VOLT'S CORD PLU…

AS AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE, WHEN RUNNING ON BATTERY, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LEFT RUNNING. UPON RETURNING HOME ONE DAY, I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND PLUGGED IT IN. I DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME, THAT I HAD NOT TURNED OFF THE VOLT BY PRESSING THE BLUE POWER SWITCH ON THE DASHBOARD. THE NEXT MORNING, I CAME INTO MY ENCLOSED GARAGE AND COULD HEAR THE VOLT'S GAS POWERED GENERATOR RUNNING. I LOOKED AT THE DASH DISPLAY AND COULD SEE THE VOLT HAD NOT CHARGED, HAD USED UP ALL REMAINING BATTERY, AND HAD BEEN RUNNING ON GAS GENERATOR FOR S…

DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL (LCD DISPLAY) BLACKOUT. THE LCD DISPLAY SIMPLY DID NOT COME ON AS IT NORMALLY DID WHEN I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE. I AM DRIVING "BLIND" CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING, HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT, CAN'T SEE IF THE TURN SIGNALS ARE BLINKING, DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH CHARGE I HAVE ON THE BATTERY ETC. ETC. I'VE WAITED FOR 4 DAYS NOW TO SEE IF THE DISPLAY COMES ON ON ITS OWN FOR SOME REASON; HOWEVER, IT IS TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER; IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY.
