NHTSA Complaint #10555958 — 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND STARTED UP DUE TO THE SNOW/ICE TO MELT THE WINDSHIELD. THE FAN WOULD ONLY WORK ON THE HIGH SETTING WHICH IS "4". I REPLACED THE RESISTOR AS IT WAS BURNT. IT WORKED OK FOR A WEEK AND THEN BURNT OUT AGAIN. IF I JIGGLE THE WIRES IT WILL SOMETIMES WORK ON 1, 2 OR 3 SETTING BUT NOT FOR VERY LONG. I HAVE REPLACED 3-4 RESISTORS AND I'M TIRED OF REPLACING THEM. SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS TENS OF THOUSANDS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHEVROLET COLORADOS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. JUST DO AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FIND THE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS YET GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO, ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING THE FAN QUIT AND THE ENTIRE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, RPM GAUGE AND FUEL/BATTERY GAUGES. *TR
