Rodents were apparently storing acorns in the blower assembly unit of my Equinox. There were so many that it caused the motor to freeze up and stop working. Replacement cost $562.27.
I believe this to be a design defect or flaw. How much extra effort would it take to block access (via screens or mesh ) to the inside of the blower motor assembly? This is not just a rodent making a home on top of an engine or in a crevasse somewhere under the hood. These rodents were able to travel to the inside of the blower assembly and store at least 50 acorns in there!! The GM dealership I went to said other people had similar problems, so I know I'm not alone. I would expect reimbursement from GM, since this is an obvious design flaw of omission.
