The heater fan blower went bad, melted both ends of the plug-in on the resistor block. I called the local Chevy dealer and was told they had been having problems with this part and that it would be $500. To fix it. I purchased the parts to fix it, and did it myself. I sent a letter to Chevrolet and ask why the parts weren't recalled, this could have caused a fire, causing a wreck or death. They called back later and said that they didn't know they had a problem with this part. If they have a special wiring kit made just to fix this problem how can say they don't know it exists. The local dealer told me that they had fixed over 50 of these, and this is a very small dealer, so how many have been fixed all over the country and $500. A hit. The consumer shouldn't have to pay for something that Chevrolet knows they have a problem with.
