Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT WHICH HEAT WENT OUT ABOUT A MONTH AGO. SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS WERE DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND ALL THREE CAME UP WITH SAME DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS TOLD THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BLEND BOX AND IT WOULD COST $1000 OR MORE TO BE REPAIRED. I ALSO CONTACTED GM AND THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST ME. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2006 PONTIAC TORRENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING IN FOG OR BAD WEATHER THE FOGGER DOES NOT WORK DUE TO HEATER NOT WORKING WHICH IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT OBSTRUCTS YOUR VIEW AND CAUSE YOU NOT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY WHICH COULD MEAN INCREASED ACCIDENTS AS WELL AS DEATHS.
