What owners wrote
The 120 volt, 12 amp charge cord that came with my car (ford part no. FM58-10b706AC) is overheating creating a fire hazard. The end of the cord that plugs into the wall has melted and the plug has left burn marks on three different electrical outlets on my house where I plug the car in to charge. Photos of the melted cord and outlet burn marks are attached.
