Consumer Description

I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS MORE THAN 3 TIMES. GM HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE SINCE 2009 AND HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KEEPING MY H3 FROM RANDOMLY CATCHING FIRE AND REFUSE TO EXPLORE ANY OPTION OTHER THAN REPLACING WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAS ALREADY FAILED. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO MY PROPERTY OR LIFE DO TO THIS. TO DATE 43 H3 HAVE BEEN TOTAL LOSS FIRES CAUSED BY THIS ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OWNERS LEFT WITH NO HVAC SYSTEM. MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE IS NOW FORCED TO DRIVE MY 5 YEAR OLD SON TO SCHOOL IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER WITH NO HEAT IN FEAR THAT THE WIRING WILL CATCH FIRE NEXT TIME THE RESISTOR FAILS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A COMPANY BOASTING 8.3 BILLION DOLLAR SALE PROFITS. THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAS BURNED UP ON HEATING AND COOLING AND BURNS OUT RANDOMLY.
