Description of the problem	I have a 2005 chevrolet silverado that has 2 main issues with truck. The first on is dealing with the air condition system. The relay for the fan motor directly under the dash burnt, and after doing research on the computer i found that this was common with this year model chevy. I called the chevrolet hot line number and there were no recalls on this part. I then went to the dealership and found out that they had replacement parts in stock due to the frequency of the part being purchased. This part was replaced and 2 months afterwards the air conditioning and heat went out again, but was not the same part. This time the fan motor was diagnosed as the problem. I have not fixed this part due to myself not feeling it is my obligation to spend several hundred dollars fixing stuff that is common throughout truck of the same year and make. This part that was replaced got very hot and smoked when going out. There is definitely a safety issue with this part catching on fire and my child not able to ride in my vehicle during hot summer months due to parts messing up constantly. By the way no fuse every burn up in this process until after fan motor went out. The second issue i have is the instrument cluster on my truck. The engine hours meter has reset twice now which wasn't a big deal, but the gear selection on the dash is now starting to not work properly. I recently went to leave from work and went putting the truck in drive the indication on the dash stayed in park. The truck was in gear though because i didn't realize that this had happened until after getting on the road. I pulled over and went back to park with the shifter. After doing so the indication worked. I am afraid that this will start happening more frequent along with the engine hours clearing. I am sure something else is to follow that could be major to the drive train due to the excessive electronic technologies on vehicles now. Thank you for looking into these problems.
