My samsung issued usb C  cord, melted/was burning where it plugs into phone,in my truck.

Luckily I was able to detect it,if I had left it in truck, I am sure there would have been a fire.

The only thing that changed anything g to do with charging was that I put it in " battery saver" mode.

( only charges phone 85%).. and it was at 85-84%.. when it was heating up, as if whatever restricts the charging to 85% 

Was perhaps causing an issue, so I took phone off of that setting,it could have just been a coincidence...I will keep an eye on it, hopefully that did not damage my device at port. As it got pretty hot

The phone seems to be warm when not in use, aso

It's probably because your truck doesn't have safety protocols, perhaps, and only works with a charging brick. That's what I'm guessing.
