damn, and I was gonna get one of these
not sure if its a repost; couldn't find anything

same.............

instead of saving on gas, you get to rebuild half your house...........


let's hope nobody was hurt and everything is covered by warranty.



Western Financial Group? Yep........... no worries.

so... if its a manufacturers defect, doest hat mean Chevrolet pays for the cost of rebuilding their home?

on that note, I wouldn't want a home made by Chevy :troll:

BUY A CHEVY VOLT

Sue them for money!!1

Lame news article. The fire investigation hasn't even been done yet and they're making it sound like the Volt started it.

If it turns out to be something else, perhaps Chevy should sue the paper for printing this article before the results are in.

It will burst into flames too :troll:

if anything i bet the owner didn't want to pony up for a 240v outlet and tried to jerry rig his 120v outlet to put out more current

too much current = heat
heat = fire

even car and driver tried it and said their contraption put out a lot of heat

lol, dam electrical cars. ima stick with good old gasoline :)

that is....shocking :troll:

There have been a number of recalls issued for good old gasoline vehicles spontaneously combusting and burning down homes.

it was a joint arson job by Shell/Texaco/BP

I hear the couple are currently looking for a new car. :troll:

what's wrong with a doorframe made out of plastic?

car of the year in afgan & iraq :troll:

Ohm my god! I hope everyone is OK!

Watt could have caused such a disaster?

Garage full of junk and two cars. A brand new Chevy Volt and what looks like a POS Suzuki Sidekick with the hood open like it was being worked on. And they blame the Chevy for the fire. :rolleyes:

chevy volt used thunder bolt.

Yep, I'm willing to bet this fire was due to shitty house electrical wiring.

But of course this is Revscene, so blame is automatically assigned to anything named Chevrolet, Ford, or Dodge

maybe the 'something to do' is the batteries exploding from the fire and acting as an accelerant?

those clever bastards....

Chevy should be CHARGED the amount it costs to rebuild the house.



lol I'm all out.

you people try way too hard...

"GM announced that it had sold 321 Chevy Volts. This is in addition to the 326 Volts sold in December, indicating 647 have so far reached customers. Nissan for its part only sold 87 Leafs , and only 19 in December for a total of 106 units sold, less than one sixth as many as Volts."

They are not exactly "burning up the showroom floors" with new sales. A total of 647 sold, in spite of all that advertising, Govt support and subsidy, Obamas's personal endorsement, being car of the year etc...I guess the thought of replacing the $10,000 battery may be holding some potential buyers back? Or maybe the spontaneous combustion problem? :devil:
