Consumer Description

THE BLOWER MOTOR (FOR HEAT & AIR CONDITIONING) STOPPED WORKING AND WAS REPLACED ON OUR 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500. WITH IN A YEAR IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND UPON INSPECTION WE ALONG WITH RAYMOND CHEVROLET IN ANTIOCH, ILLINOIS NOTICED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS BURNED OUT AND THE RESISTER HARNESS WAS BURNT. AS IF IT WAS ON FIRE. THANKFULLY NO FURTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE BESIDES THE BURNING OF THE MOTOR, WIRES AND HARNESS. THIS WAS REPLACED AGAIN ON 10-30-08 AND NOW ON 06-23-09 AGAIN THE MOTOR HAS BURNT OUT AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NO EXPLANATION WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND BEING AWARE OF THIS WE MAKE SURE NOTHING IS CLOSE TO THE DASH PREVENTING A SPREAD OF FIRE IN CASE IT WERE TO HAPPEN AGAIN, WHICH IT HAS. *TR
