Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A SMELL OF SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BURNING. THE HEATER WAS ON SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE HEATER OFF. A WHILE LATER WHEN I TURNED THE HEAT BACK ON THE FRONT BLOWER DID NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH THE REAR BLOWER DID. BEING AND EASILY REPLACEABLE PART, MY HUSBAND TOOK THE PANEL OFF TO REMOVE THE BLOWER MOTOR. WHILE TRYING TO GET THE MOTOR OUT HE FOUND THAT THE WIRES WERE MELTED TOGETHER AND THE RESISTOR PLUG LOOKED BURNED. WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE JULY OF 2005 AND WERE NOT AWARE OF THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE MATTER UNTIL TODAY, DECEMBER 29, 2013. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE INTERNET I WOULD NOT KNOW IT NOW. I AM CONCERNED NOT ONLY BECAUSE WE OWN TWO VEHICLES THAT MY HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT IF I HAD NOT IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE UNIT THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HURT IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF OR MADE MORE PUBLIC? *TR
