I can feel for all these Mailubu owners with problem control panels. My problem is the same. AC turns itself on and off. Switches from re-circulating air to fresh all by itself. I have had 5 control panels put in this car since 2005. All under warranty and done at a Chevrolet dealership. Now it has happened again and my dealership has gone out of business and chevrolet won't cover it because my dealership didn't fix the problem. That's not my fault. Oh well, thanks for letting me vent. Can this be fixed once and for all?
Thanks Wanda

Hi Wanda1963,

Thank you for the donation.

This seems to be a design or manufacturing flaw and there are no known permanent fixes for the problem.

Try getting a reman if any is available, they might last longer as some manufacturing flaw could have been rectified.
