Air Conditioner problems of the 1999 Chevrolet S10

Consumer stated that when he put on air conditioner it blew out a smelly fumes, like cleaning fluid. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, and dealer told consumer that these fumes were coming from a burnt out heating coil. Consumer went to a doctor after smelling these fumes, and was told that he had developed a viral blood condition after coming in contact with some type of toxic fumes.

While air conditioner was on/off grey smoke came of out of the vents. Dealershipwas aware of the problem, but did not resolve. The problem.

8/9/00 a/c froze-up causing serpentine belt to catch on fire under hood. 8/20/00 speed control set at 63mph, within 2 miles speed was 85mph down curved hill. Unable to disable speed control with brake pedal. Did not want to turn off ignition as steering was needed. Used brakes to slow vehicle until straight uphill area which heated up rotors extensively. Believe it was caused by fire of serpentine belt @ a/c.
