THE VENTILATION SYSTEM STOPPING BLOWING AIR. I WENT ONLINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THIS AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT AND HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT. I OPENED UP THE AREA UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND FOUND THAT A RESISTOR WAS BURNT UP. THIS APPEARS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAD CAUGHT FIRE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE 2009, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES CLOGGING. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS GOING IN FOR IT'S SCHEDULED PMIS I WOULD HAVE THEM BLOW THE DRAIN TUBES OUT WITH AIR, BUT THE CLOGGING IS NOW BECOMING MORE FREQUENT, AND THE WATER IF NOT REMOVED CAN CAUSE HAVOC WITH THE CLOTH, ELECTRICAL & FLOORING. LAST WEEK I HAD A MILDEW SMELL BECAUSE OF ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE HAD, AND THE WATER BUILT UP IN THE SUNROOF DRAIN AREA. THESE TUBES ARE A DESIGN FLAW, AND THIS SHOULD ALSO BE A RECALL, AS THE WATER WILL BE THE MAIN CAUSE FOR PROBLEMS IN THIS SITUATION. *TR

BLOWER MOTOR FOR HVAC STOPPED WORKING, SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC, WIRING AND RESISTOR BURNED UP. IT IS LOCATED UNDER THE DASH AND IS VERY EASY TO CATCH FIRE, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WITH THE CHEVY & GM PRODUCT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MANY ITEMS CAN BURN UP, GM IS OF NO HELP WITH THIS. *TR
