Mine didn't overheat, and I had no problems with the retraction cord... it simply didn't work at all from the beginning.

Reviewer: R. LaBarbera,
This charger melted in TWO different vehicles before I made the wise decision to just throw it in the garbage before it starts a fire.... DO NOT BUY. THERE ARE MOTOROLA BRAND CHARGERS FOR SALE HERE ON AMAZON FOR THE SAME PRICE!!!!! JUST LOOK!!! NO I AM NOT A SELLER! I threw this away and bought the real deal for like 2 dollars more. THIS IS GARBAGE! And seller will NOT TAKE RETURNS!
do NOT buy this

Very poorly made. The third time I extended and retracted the cord, it got stuck. When pulling it out, the plug pulled off and the rest of the cable fully retracted into the charger, you can't even get the cable out now. I am careful with the things I buy and this breakage was not due to "user error," but to extremely poor product quality. Yes, the product is much cheaper than the car chargers at the Verizon store. But what good is it if it breaks the first day you have it? Avoid this product!

UPDATE: I emailed the seller, Accessory Export, who replied immediately. They were apologetic and sincere. They shipped me a new one right away, without asking for me to return the broken one. The new one arrived a couple days later. After 24 hours of use, it has not broken. The cord doesn't retract all the way, and it still feels cheap - like it could break at any time. But it does charge my phone.
I still recommend you avoid buying this product. I am not confident it will last very long. But I do recommend the seller, Accessory Export. I was very impressed with the service.
Here's a much better option for charging your portable devices in the car: search Amazon for "usb car charger" and get a list of car chargers that do not have a cable and plug to go into your device, but rather one or two standard USB jacks. Amazon has them ranging from $7 for a cheap no-name to a $10 Kensington to a $12 Scosche Dual USB Car Charger which has two USB jacks. These will charge ANYTHING that can charge from a USB jack. I bought the Scosche dual USB charger and have my iPod and my Droid plugged into it at the same time. Amazon sells plenty of different kinds of USB cables. You need one with a standard USB plug on one end, to plug into the charger, and on the other end whatever kind of plug your device takes. The Droid takes a micro USB plug. Blackberries and other devices take a mini USB plug. iPods have their own proprietary plug, but every iPod comes with a cable that will allow charging from one of these USB car chargers.
Yes, this is more expensive. But it's better quality, not likely to break, and very flexible in that you can charge most any device that plugs into a USB jack. It's worth considering.
Awesome Charger for the price.

Compared to the price that Verizon stores sell their chargers this is a bargain. Nice cheap charger and does what it says it does. No complaints here.
Get what you pay for

Reviewer: A. Pierce,
I purchased this specifically for the retractability factor of the cord. Pulled it out of the package and pulled it out about 10 inches and pulled a bit more to make it go back in, nothing. Pulled out a few more inches then tried to get it to catch. Now I have a standard car charger that won't retract. It's essentially a piece of crap. Also a further note, the plastic gets super hot when you have it charging, don't know it is my car or the item causing it so basically I would say "Don't buy this junk."
