The video linked is a must see, it's the first infomercial I've ever seen on the Fox News Channel.

This is SOP for Government Motors.

Remember the gas engines they retrofitted to diesel in the early 'eighties? They were 20,000 mile engines. And when they failed, it was the owner's fault.

The non-recall recall is instead referred to as a customer satisfaction action which is designed to "offer a more consistent charging experience."

"Instead of occasionally catching fire, they will now not catch fire that often ... or always catch fire ... I'm PR, I don't understand this technical stuff"

The owners’ fault?

I thought these people were so smart, you know, buying “SmartCars” and all that.

I own a large, powerful SUV, so they must be at least 37 times smarter than me. Right?

Given that, categorically, every single owner of a Chevy Volt is a blithering idiot, it seems like a sensible strategy to blame them for all of it’s woes.

LOL... Wow... I'm beginning to think I'm living in the former Soviet Union with all this friggin communist propaganda.

Listen... I will NEVER own a volt and since obomba's GM stole all my stock in the company when he took office I will NEVER own another GM product. I don't care it does somersaults, flies or orally messages my loins 24 hours a day.
I am a GM man from way back that has now turned my back on GM. Ford has always been considered a piece of junk in our homes but now... After Toyota and Honda I would own a Ford in a heartbeat before a GM product.

I wonder how much of my money went into producing that ridiculous infomercial?

Any idiot buying one of these things deserves to be blamed.

For everything.

The nice thing about a catastrophic failure like the Volt is that GM can probably replace charging cords for all 9,500 Volts for less that it costs to write the press release on the repair.

...”offer a more consistent charging experience.”...

_______________________________

Who has an “experience” when charging something electrical?

I just plug the charger cord into my cell phone - perhaps I'm missing an experience here?

What can I do to have a real experience?....:^)

I am no electrician, but I know when a power cord heats up that thing is sucking down energy like crazy

I have a welder that doesn’t heat the cord.

What is it costing a month to charge one of those expensive golf carts.
