2008 LTZ Subruban blower motor issue
Hi everyone. I'm new to the site and I have tried to search for a solution to the issue I am having but have been unsuccessful so far. I have a 2008 LTZ suburban w/climate control. The front HVAC motor is acting up. It blows fine one minute then just stops or will fluctuate as we are driving. I have replaced one of these on a 98 Silverado but in that case it just quit working. I guess I need to know if this is an issue with the blower motor or something else. Anyone have any thoughts or had similar issue? I can tap on the plastic cover under the dash and sometimes it will start blowing again, other times its just dead. Also, I never use the "auto" setting.

Blower (it really does)
in2pro --
After an extended period of on and off again functionality of my blower, it finally seized. I had the dealership replace it (at some cost to me). Not only does this heat and cool and passenger compartment, but it defrosts the windshield, so is a critical function.
While I love my Suburban (perhaps I am a masochist), I have been consummately disappointed with the quality of the mechanics. The ignition key issue being reported on the news is just one symptom of a systemic lack of quality.
The plastic door handles all broke and needed replacement. (The dealer had Chevy pay for this, but who puts plastic handles on a truck?) I had oil problems.Looking at this and other forums reveals dealers telling customers to refill oil every 1000-3000 miles. What kind of an engine needs oil every 1000 miles? I ended up replacing my engine during when internal damage resulted during one rather hectic week of all local driving. I was on an extremely busy and dangerous stretch of road when all the indicator lamps in the dash lit up and the power dropped. The new engine cost me a lot.
Now I have replaced my blower.
The solution? Pay up and replace the thing before you get stuck. Wish I could tell you something happier.
