| 1) normal use of hvac in automobile 2) approximately every 15k miles. ( occurred @15k and 32k) potential fire hazard. melts plug/wiring for blower and gets extremely hot . burning smell noticed. i was able to identify problem and turn off the blower before fire started on both occasions. 3) replacement of damaged plug and install correct resistor. improper resistor value installed at production and is mis-matched with blower motor causing repeated failures until corrected. *tr | |||

| Speedometer on my truck reads incorrectly. this morning i started my truck and was instantly going 25 mph, which then indicated i was driving at 60mph going with the flow of traffic on a 35mph road. also while driving on the highway my speedometer reading will slowly drop until it reaches 0mph. i just bought the truck in july and didn't realize there was a problem with this until i was increasing my speed on the freeway and flying past cars at probably 90mph, but my speedometer said i was going 60, that is when i looked and just saw the speedometer slowly creep down to 30. i purchased the truck at 64000 and noticed the problem several days after. lately the speedometer almost always adds 20-30 mph in the morning when i start it. (its really fun to be stopped at a stop light doing 100mph). i have not corrected the problem. i just called the dealer to day and they said because my mileage is over 70000 miles they will charge me to fix it. i really don't have the money to fix a problem that if you look online appears to be happening to a lot of different people with a lot of different vehicles. i also discovered there is a class action law suit about this but i really don't know any of this because i just bought this truck in july and was never told by the dealer or have i received any recall or service notices yet. *tr | |||
