    While parked the blower motor for the climate system continued to run. The keys were removed, engine off. Upon discovery i could not turn off the blower. I decided to take it to a shop. Before i could leave the parking lot the cab was full of a thick white smoke. I was able to shut the engine off and disconnect the battery before a fire started. The dealership said it was a common problem. There is no recall on it…

    My blower motor wiring melted and almost caught fire. I had it replaced under warranty once. 15 months later the same thing happened. I am smart enough to disconnect it before it caused a fire but it is no longer under warranty. The second time it happened it would not shut off after i turned the engine off and pulled the key. Had i not known how to disconnect it my truck surely would have been damaged. *tr

    The wiring harness to the blower motor resistor in my 2005 chevrolet started smoking, from excess heat within the wiring to the harness or resistor. I have since replaced the harness and resistor, but it still does the same thing. Hopefully this faulty wiring harness is the only one in these models. *tr

    A/c-heater fan stopped working on 5, then 4, then stopped working all together. Upon removing the plastic cover for the internal components, i discovered that the module going to the fan and the plug were melted together. Also, the wires on the wiring harness going to the module were melted to the point that the wires were exposed and shorting across to one another. *tr
