pretty bad- Typical Repair Cost:
- $230
- Average Mileage:
- 87,750 miles
- Total Complaints:
- 10 complaints
Most common solutions:
- not sure (6 reports)
- replaced a resistor to the blower motor (4 reports)
In 2006 the resister got burned. I replaced the full panel and got no heat from settings 1-4; the fan has to be on 5.
2008 same thing happened, just to find out I need a new fan! 2009 the same issue, again replaced the fan.
Over a period of 3 years I replaced a full panel and 2 fans.

We bought the car in March 09. It has been a great car until the last month. It would be great now having the fan on 5 all the time for heat.

I was driving and noticed a burning smell (somewhat on the sweet side) and then I saw smoke coming from the vents. I pulled over. Upon further inspection I realized that air was no longer coming from the vents: 1-4 were dead.
Now setting 5 only works but the smell is still there and awful.

After several years of each setting on the control going out and only level 5 working I took it in to Chevy to have the intermittent turning signal issue fixed do to a special policy #04098. after having a conversation with a GM Rep who told me get it checked out and we will see if we can cover it was told today that it was not a big enough issue and they do not have enough complaints about it.I asked how many they needed as I have at 7 poeple with the same issue. They did not have answer. If you are having this issue please call GM @ 1-866-790-5700 and voice your complaint, that is what they are looking for. The more the better.

Seen other complaints. Chevy should consider this as a recall

I've only had my car 6 years and plan to keep it many more. Also it hasn't been heavily used and abused as it only has 58,000 miles on it. The first four positions of the blower (1-4) just stopped working and it was very annoying. Also to repair it cost $45 for the part and hourly repair charge.

Blower motor only works on five... stopped working on one, then two, then three, and now doesn't work on four... lost them one at a time

Apparently the blower motor has 2 resistors - one that controls the high and another that controls the four speeds below it...

My A/C/heater only works on 5. It really gets too cold or hot. But that is the only way it will blow. Any solutions please help.

My HVAC fan only works on setting 4 and 5. And the AC will cut in and out with no warning. Heat is OK.
