NHTSA Complaint #10290735 — 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD. SMELT BURNING PLASTIC FROM TIME TO TIME AND BLAMED IT ON OUTSIDE FUMES. AUGUST 2009 HEATER BLOWER FAN ONLY WORKED ON CERTAIN SETTINGS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND FINALLY TOTALLY FAILED. LOOKED UP PROBLEM ON INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THE BLOWER RESISTOR HAD FAILED WHICH SEEMED TO BE A QUITE COMMON PROBLEM. I LOCATED THE PROBLEM MYSELF AND FOUND THE RESISTOR AND THE WIRING HARNESS HAD MELTED TOGETHER AND THE WIRES HAD MELTED THE PLASTIC OFF ABOUT 1 1/2" FROM THE HARNESS. FROM OTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT ONE TRUCK ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE. I EXPLAINED TO CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE MY SAFETY CONCERNS AND MY DISGUST AS TO WHY THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A RECALL. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MATTER SOME MORE AND CALL ELECTRICALCONNECTION.COM FOR MORE INFO. THEY SELL THE REPLACEMENT PART IN A KIT FOR THE DIYER AND FROM WHAT THEY TELL ME IT IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH GM SINCE 1999 AND THEY SELL QUITE ALOT OF THEIR KITS TO PEOPLE WHO'S VEHICLES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
