OCCASIONALLY SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING INSIDE VEHICLE. AC/HEATER BLOWER CUT OUT BUT CAME BACK ON. DECEMBER 2008 AC/HEATER BLOWER STOPPED COMPLETELY. WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM WHICH FUSE TO CHECK. WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING ELSE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS. JANUARY 2009 WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND CONNECTOR SHORTED OUT AND MELTED (NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY). AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE CONTACTED MANUFACTURER ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALL, WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SPLIT COST OF REPAIR. DEALER REPAIR FACILITY WOULD NOT GIVE US THE FAULTY PARTS. SAID MANUFACTURER WOULD GET THE FAULTY PARTS DUE TO THEM AGREEING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS. STILL COST ME $262 FOR DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR. TOTAL REPAIR PRICE ORIGINALLY $323. MANY MANUFACTURER VEHICLES HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY ANYTHING. FAULTY PART WAS UPGRADED BY MANUFACTURER AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK, WITH THE REMOTE OR BY USING THE DRIVERS DOOR, NOR WOULD IT LOCK WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. SO NOW IF YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE, YOUR ARE NOT. THEY PUT ONSTAR IN YOUR VEHICLE TO KEEP YOU SAFE HOW DOES THAT HELP IF YOU ARE HI-JACKED AT GUN POINT? YOU THOUGHT ALL DOORS LOCKED WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR ALL BUT THE ONE DOOR THAT FAILED BECAUSE OF A POOR DESIGN. OR YOUR CHILD FALLS OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND BECAUSE THE LOCK FAILED DUE TO POOR DESIGN. PLEASE HELP US WITH THESE POOR DESIGNS ON CHEVY VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. CLUNKING NOISES STARTING NOW WHEN I TURN CORNERS. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IS NORMAL. OMG! ARE THEY INSANE? I KNOW THAT IS NOT NORMAL BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING THAT NOISE WHEN I PURCHASED IT. EVERYTHING STARTS GOING RIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE WARRANTY ENDS. POOR WINDOW DESIGNS THE WINDOWS ARE SO LOOSE THEY COULD POSSIBLY FALL OUT WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *JS
