Pontiac Bonneville Electrical System Safety Report | June 01, 2009
Reported on June 01, 2009
| I HAVE A 2003 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE. THE BLOWER MOTOR HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS BEFORE GOING OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE HEAT/AC HAD MELTED AND REQUIRED REPLACING. I WAS LUCKY THE CAR DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE! THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. A VERY QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH PONTIAC BUT MANY GM CARS AND TRUCKS. SOUNDS LIKE GM HAS INSTALLED INADEQUATE WIRING AND ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS SUBSTANDARD WIRING SHOULD BE RECALLED AND WIRING REPLACED. THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED LOSS DUE TO THIS SUBSTANDARD WIRING SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR GM'S FAILURE TO INSTALL WIRE OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE TO HANDLE THE LOAD OF THE BLOWER MOTOR. I AM GOING TO ASK FOR THE OLD WIRING HARNESS. *TR | |
