| I have had my blower fan motor replaced the dealer just replaced my cigarette lighter when they were replacing my recalled speedometer they said the wires were melted to cig assembly, days later my truck burnt to the ground. the cause was the heater resister and fan motor started this fire. i am out a truck the dealer says that's what insurance is for. big deal i get 75% of my truck's value. this was a 2005 2500hd extended cab truck in excellent condition. why do we as customers have to put up with these defects and take the loss. we suffer. the question is how many fires have been associated with this year truck and the factories problems. when do we as high paying customers get some help with or struggle to keep what we paid for still working with out being burnt. tw* | |||

| 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 | |||
