: the contact stated while driving 55 mph on normal road conditions, without any warning signal smoke started coming from under the dash board and noticed the a/c blower had seized. The contact pulled over and with police help disconnected the a/c blower fuse. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined over load current to the blower motor, the control module and the 30 amps fuse. A police report was taken. The vehicle was taken to a dealership who replaced the blower, control module and 30 amp fuse holders. The contact expressed concern due to the lack of warning signal in the presence of a serious electrical failure.

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Impala. While driving between 65-70 mph with the radio and air conditioning activated, the front passenger floor panel area ignited into flames without warning. There were no injuries. The passenger extinguished the flames and the fire department was not called to the scene. The dashboard and carpet sustained minor fire damage. The vehicle was able to be driven. The following day, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle is currently inoperable and has not been repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 09v116000 (engine and engine cooling). The failure and current mileages were unavailable.

The service vehicle soon and low coolant level lights keep coming on. I had the radiator checked and there is nothing wrong with it. The light still comes on and so did the service vehicle soon light. Took the car back in again today to get it hopefully fixed. A sensor was shorting out for the driver display and replaced. I also had trouble last year with the directional signals going nuts. It was finally diagnosed as a faulty hazard switch that needed to be replaced.

Electrical system - dashboard lights and other instrument lights do not turn on or will turn on only after several minutes of driving. Very inconsistent. Pose danger especially when driving at night. The problem appeared to have been fixed about a year ago, but the problem started to surface again recently (fall 2003).

Lights in dashboard cluster don't illuminate.

Any time the vehicle is turned on message center light indicates that the coolant level is low. Consumer checked the coolant levels several times to find them up to par. Vehicle had been taken to several mechanics who could not determine why the message center light would not go off. Manufacturer and the dealer have been notified.

Vehicles stalled in traffic, took vehicle to dealer, and they were not able to look at it at that time. Consumer took vehicle to another dealer, and they said that wires under the dash had been cut. Also the rear defrogger was inoperative, the overhead console was inaccurate, and the doors that move the airflow from the windshiled to the floor did not move the air to the specified area, the dealer ordered an actuator for the doors and for the airflow, an aftermarket device that was installed in the vehicle caused the vehicle to suddenly stall while driving.

Instrument panel remains illuminated intermittently. Dealer has been contacted, but is unable to locate source of problem by computer. Please provide further details.

Most serious problems are stalling and electrical malfunctions.

Faulty instrument cluster caused the keyless entry system to fail intermittently. Nlm.

Engine/trans partial failure, almost stalling in intersection. Instrument cluster had system managment lighting in dash flashing for no reason. Replacment of instrument cluster actually worsened uncommanded light flashing. Initial repair of engine problems diminished severity of stalling, however did not completely correct the problem. Unable to duplicate stalling on a consistant basis.

Scorched wires found under the dash, r-134a leaking into car from independant tester, daytime running lights occasionally, exhaust system damaged from excessive heatand fuel economy is only 10 mpg.

Inhalation injuries occurred due to melting of wiring harness plastic, thanks to your web site a fire didn't happen. 3 different people have had effects from the melting insulation of the harness and the company cannot duplicate the response.

For no apparent reason while the vehicle was parked there was a fire in the dash area. Husband was able to put out most of the fire until the fire department arrived. Fire department stated that the fire appeared to be electrical. Owner not sure what will be done with the vehicle.

The vehicle was started & immediately the locks began engaging & disengaging in rapid sequence, then there was a snap and I began to smell burning wires. I noticed smoke rising to my left coming from the outside hood vents. I tried to get out of the vehicle but I could not unlock or open the drivers door. I had to manually unlock the door. My husband came out and checked under the hood he saw smoke coming from around the fire wall. He then looked under the drivers side dash board and saw flames. I at that point contacted 911 and he was able to put out the fire with a garden hose. The fire company arrived and checked to make sure the fire was out, they disconnected the battery. I am glad I was of a clear frame of mind or I would have been locked in the car. We could not open any of the other doors of the vehicle without unlocking them manually. The vehicle filled with smoke which was very toxic. This could have developed into a very serious life threatening situation if I had not gotten out of this vehicle. I have contacted general motors and they are now involved in the investigation with the dealership.
