problem #2

Dec 072014

Colorado LT 3.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,200 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR (I THINK) CAUGHT ON FIRE. PASSENGER SIDE UP UNDER GLOVE BOX, VERY VISIBLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. NOW IS BURNT TO A CRISP. GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE FIX GUARANTEED. BETTER BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THIS SH*T SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED. WHAT IF I HAD KIDS IN THE CAR AND HADN'T NOTICED? THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BURNED ALIVE. AND FOR WHAT REASON? WAS IT JUST TO SAVE A FEW F*CKING PENNIES ON A CHEAPER PART? IDK AND IDC. BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE, I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY/GM AGAIN.

In 2012, like 2008 my electrical harness went out! By this time it is getting very aggravating dealing with this issue. again, I had to wait a week for my vehicle and this time, I also had to pay for a vehicle rental.

Dealing with the individual from Chevy Corp was like getting a root canal. I told them, I was not going to pay for this because of the ongoing issues with it. At this time, the warranties were starting to run out and I was forced to pay half the cost for their issues. What a boat load of crap. I also contacted an attorney regarding this matter, they advised me their was not enough evidence for the Lemon law to be effective.
