Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT WHICH THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND TURNED MY HEATER ON AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST $1000 OR MORE TO REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH NO HEAT AND CANNOT USE MY DEFROST DUE TO HEAT FAILURE WHICH OBSTRUCTS MY VISION WHEN DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL DUE TO THE VAST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY VEHICLE CAN BE RETURNED FOR FULL REFUND IN ORDER TO GET ONE WITH LESS SEVERE HEATING PROBLEMS. *TR
