Wiring Problems of Chevrolet Volt

When I shift my car into park and push the power button to turn off, a message displays on the gauge cluster to "shift to park" and the car does not let me turn it off. This issue has happened multiple times and through googling I have seen many other gen 2 Volt owners having the same issue. When I mentioned it to my service writer at the dealership, they knew the issue was related to the shift linkage/wiring harness but refuse to fix it despite being a known common issue.

I charge my 2012 chevy Volt with the 120v charging unit supplied by the manufacturer. I use the charger in a dedicated circuit of 20 amps. However I have noticed that there may be a deficiency in the gauge of the wire used. The wire from the charging unit to the car becomes quite warm. However, the short cord from the charging unit to the wall plug becomes dangerously hot. So hot that part of the plug has melted and left burn marks on the wall socket. Even the wall is very warm indicating that the wiring in the wall is hot as well. I am concerned about a possible fire hazard at this point. Would you please investigate? I have attached a photo of the charging unit plugged into the wall showing the scorch marks from overheating. During this time, the car is stationary in the garage.
