car charger for Samsung phone

Yesterday I tried to use a car charger on a Galaxy Siii mobile phone and found that it wouldn't charge the phone, the phone just kept displaying the message "USB connected". The charger has been used satisfactorily with a Samsung Ace phone. It has the same micro USB connector as the mains charger that works with both phones.

Is this a hardware issue or have I missed something in the setup of the phone?

Frustratingly, if the car power is turned off while the phone is connected to the charger, the charger draws power from the phone (the LED on the charger stays illuminated) and further discharges the phone battery!
