Consumer Description

THE BLEND ACTUATOR DOOR IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION WHICH MEANS THAT I CAN'T SET THE TEMPERATURE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT TO A COMFORTABLE LEVEL. AFTER SEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET IT'S APPARENT TO ME AND OTHERS THAT THIS HAS GOT TO BE A DEFECT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS.
