2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

AIR CONDITIONING FAN CONTROL MELTED, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THERE WAS A STRONG ELECTRICAL FIRE ODOR. I TURNED OFF MY FAN AND WHEN I RETURNED HOME I FOUND THAT THE FAN RESISTOR GM PART# 89019088 AND THE CONNECTOR GM PART# 15862656 HAD MELTED. BARE WIRES WERE VISIBLE AND THE PINS IN THE CONNECTOR WERE TOUCHING. INITIALLY BEFORE THIS OCCURRENCE THE FAN HAD STOPPED WORKING AT THE HIGHEST SPEED THEN THE NEXT LOWEST SPEED AND FINALLY STARTED TO BURN UP. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOMEONE WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ODOR OF BURNING OF AN ELECTRICAL NATURE. I DID REPLACE THE RESISTOR AT A COST OF $55.00 AND NOW NEED TO GET THE CONNECTOR WHICH IS AT A RIDICULOUS COST OF $95.00. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I WOULD THINK GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS SINCE THEY ARE PROBABLY SELLING QUITE A FEW OF THESE ITEMS. ONE OF THE PARTS COUNTER PERSON'S I SPOKE WITH KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HYBRID, UPON COMING TO A STOP LIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA THE HYBRID VEHICLE SHUTS THE MOTOR OFF UNTIL UNTIL YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE YOU CAN PLACE YOUR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK ROLLS BACKWARDS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED DEPENDING ON THE INCLINE. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS FLAW AS OF YET AND EXPECTS US TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE TRUCK AS IS. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THIS VEHICLE DESIGN SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE MOUNTAINS. THANK YOU. *TR

FRONT SEATS ARE JUNK. YOU CAN FEEL THE SPRINGS IN THE BACKS POPPING. SEATS WOULD MAKE A POPPING SOUND WHEN YOU SHIFT YOUR WEIGHT THEY WERE NOT RIGHT WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN DEC '06. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO BE FIXED. THEY SAID GMAC WILL NOT COVER THIS BUT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART UNDER THE SEAT. WENT THROUGH THIS 3 TIMES WITH THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THE LAST TIME THEY "REPLACED " THE UPRIGHT PART OF THE SEAT. THE SEATS STILL MAKES THE POPPING NOISE AND SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN SPRING(S). *TR
