In October of 2004, I purchased a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero with 3,900 miles on it. The vehicle now has 39,000. In the past 3 months I have had to replace the blower motor resistor twice on this vehicle. There are numerous web sites with complaints in regards to this problem with the Oldsmobile Alero. On one of the sites a worker for a GM dealership stated that he has raised the issue with GM in regards to this particular problem, which is that water is leaking behind the strip at the bottom of the windshield because GM failed to use a sealant when installing this strip, and water is leaking down from the bottom of the windshield and causing the blower motor resistor to short out. I called GM and stated my case and they referred me to a dealership. I find this unacceptable. Why should I have to replace a $30 part everytime my area experiences heavy rains. If your wondering where the safety issue is with this post, picture the person whose heater controls don't work but continues to drive with an iced or fogged up windshield. This will definately cause an accident!!!

Heater fan quit. Windshield stays fogged up in winter. Likely to cause accident. And cruise control quit also
