Consumer Description

I OWN A 06 PONTIAC TORRENT AND JUST RECENTLY THE HEATER AND DEFROSTER QUIT WORKING. AFTER HAVING IT FIXED AND PAYING 200 AND DRIVING IT 5 MILES, I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY TO GO TO WORK TO HAVE NO HEAT OR DEFROST AGAIN TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN AND BE TOLD THAT THE HEATER BLEND DOOR WAS BROKEN AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $600 TO BE FIXED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TORRENT OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AS WELL AS CHEVROLET EQUINOX OWNERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS VISIBILITY ISSUE, WITH NO WAY TO CLEAR OUR WINDOWS OF FOG AND FROST IN THESE COLDER MONTHS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES RESULTING FROM THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW, I BELIEVE IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. PLEASE HELP!!!! *TR
