Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Air conditioning fan abruptly stopped working on all fan speeds except 4 , the highest position. Checked internet for possible solutions and found that there have been numerous failures exactly like mine. All involved the blower motor resistor assembly, connector and/or wiring harness shorting out. Scortching the connectors, resistor assembly and causing the plastic to melt/burn. Gm parts at local dealership had replacement parts and I was able to resolve the problem. …”
