Blower motor resistor does not operate. upon inspection, harness and final stage are damaged due to excessive heat. i need to replace both components because i fear it will cause a fire. many posts on the same thing. why is there nothing done about this? my bmw had same issue but it was a recall on their cars. why is it not a recall on gm? is it because they are an american car company?

The instrument cluster has been failing one gauge at the time since 4 years ago, finally it quit all together, i called gm and my local dealership and i was told there was nothing they can do but to charge me for check up and possibly get me a new cluster for 400.00 what a joke. i know gm has been aware of this problem but nothing gets done. what is it going to take to get gm to get this problems serviced with no cost, after all it's their reputation.... i won't buy another gm vehicle. *tr

The speedometer and tachometer works sometimes but other times it does not work. this is a safety issue as the speed is unknown. the vehicle was taken to the dealer but i was told that it is no longer under warranty. *tr
