There's a very, very large cap between prototype "issues" and actual production issues, if any. Thats the point of a prototype: its like the rough draft for a paper. Its going to have flaws, some of them rather serious. But you wouldn't submit it for publication either.

P.S. - I also have never heard of any flaming volts, by the way.
