What owners report
The vehicle experienced a catastrophic charging system failure. When connected to the wall charger, the charge port becomes hot to the touch within seconds. The charger connector has now cracked from heat stress, and the wall charger itself previously melted due to electrical backfeed from the vehicle. The vehicle refuses to charge at all. This appears to be a thermal event and fire-risk safety defect involving the onboard charger, wiring harness, or battery management system. Insurance refused coverage due to the nature of the electrical failure. The vehicle is unsafe to charge or operate.
A "service brakes" warning came up when I was parked in a parking lot and immediately afterwards the brakes stopped working when I was reversing in the parking lot and I almost backed up into another car.

As a result, I am left with an unsafe and unreliable vehicle with no available remedy from the manufacturer. This is forcing me to trade in the vehicle at a loss
On all (4) tires, there is cracking in the sidewalls in a line about 2 inches above the tire bead around each tire. Approximately 19K miles on these tires. Manufacture and supplier/seller (Priority Tire) both sent multiple photos of issue, tread depth, etc. and then denied any warranty on the tires due to 'Improper Usage' (reply below) I asked the supplier/seller and the manufacture what that means and no reply. Tires are consistently rotated by myself and tire pressures consistently maintained. I am [XXX] and don't race or off road my Volt. This could be a potential safety issue if one or more tires were to fail unexpectedly. Please see photos and thank you for your help. Hello, We ar
