2008 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

83000 MILES ON VEHICLE. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ON. SMOKE AND PUNGENT ODOR STARTED EMANATING FROM PASSENGER SIDE WITH AIR BLOWER MOTOR ON, FOLLOWED BY BLOWER MOTOR STOP WORKING. INVESTIGATION SHOWED CONNECTOR ON BLOWER MOTOR WAS MELTED RESULTING IN A BAD CONNECTION TO THE MOTOR. REPLACED THE HARNESS AND AFTER 2000 MILES, AGAIN BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR MELTED.

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN. YOU GET IN THE VEHICLE TO GO SOMEWHERE AND IT WONT START. EVERYTHING COMES ON, LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C BUT IT WONT CRANK. LET IT SIT 10-20 MINUTES AND IT CRANKS RIGHT UP. AND IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME. IT MAY HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN A WEEK THEN GO 2 MONTHS OR LONGER WITHOUT HAPPENING AGAIN. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE FOR WORK, SITTING A THE GAS STATION MANY MANY TIMES!. I HAVE TRIED USING THE KEY FOB AND JUST USING THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS!

VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS ON, VERY SCARY WHEN IN PARKING LOTS. STOPS WHILE CRUISE IS ON. ITS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE AUGUST 2016. WE HAVE TRIED CLEANING THROTTLE BODY. BUT SINCE IT DOESN'T DO IT WHILE THE CRUISE IS ON. WE HAVE TO ASSUME THEIR IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE.
