Consumer Description

THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ACTUATOR THAT MOVES THE FLAP IN THE HEATER/AC CASE. THIS CAUSES THE HEAT NOT TO BE RELEASED INTO THE CAR, JUST COLD AIR. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT GM NEEDS TO SEE THIS ISSUE AS A FAULT OF THE PART. THE REPAIR FOR THIS UNIT REQUIRES COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE DASH BOARD. I HAVE GOTTEN QUOTES FROM 900-1500 TO REPAIR THIS PART AND THEY DO NOT SAY THAT ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
