Help Verizon branded car charger will not work on Note 2

Anyone having the same issue? Plug a Verizon charger into the Note 2 and nothing happens at all. It works on other phones. If I can't get a charger for my car at Verizon that works where do I get one? It should work since Verizon sales the phone with the car charger right?
Thanks
 
I've tried at least 5 chargers from generic $5 ones from Lowes (2amp), Droid X, wife's Razr Maxx, VZW sold Belkin 2.1 amp, Motorola usb generic for my droid x car dock, and all work fine. Perhaps a bad charger?
Make sure you get a high power one. 5" screen, 3100 battery, and using GPS, LTE, split the screen and do a movie and GPS at the same time as the kids in the back seat connect to you via wifi for tethering, you will need a decent charger.
My cheap $5 one worked fine, but was dirty. You could hear a hiss in the car speakers when using the headphone out jack to the car. Unplug the charger, hiss goes away. Replaced with the belkin 2.1 amp and no more hiss.

Update!
I have a lighter Y adapter so I can plug in two car chargers. Guess the phone does not like it. Because when I plug in the car charger without the Y adapter it works just fine. Hmmm. Strange

Glad it works, but would have thought you would have tried it without a non-stock or any usb cable besides a Y adapter before posting for help.
