Consumer Description
STARTING IN DECEMBER 2011, OUR HEATER BLEND DOOR BROKE ON OUR 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. IT IS A WIDE-SPEAD ISSUE WITH THE EXACT MAKE/MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE, EFFECTING SEVERAL HUNDRED, IF NOT THOUSANDS. CHEVROLET HAS RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN MAY OF 2012) WITH THE EXACT ISSUE, AS WELL AS RE-DESIGNED THE DOOR FOR FUTURE FIXES, BUT REFUSES TO HELP REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR ME. EVEN KNOW THE PROBLEM STARTED BEFORE THE MILEAGE FACTOR IN THE WARRANTY FOR THE PART, AND IS OVER THE MILEAGE NOW, GM REFUSES TO HELP. MY CAR HAS NO HEAT AT ALL, WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DE-FROST, DOES NOT DE-FOG. MY WIFE HAS TO USE THIS CAR TO DROP OUR AUTISTIC SON AT HIS SCHOOL AS WELL AS TO GO TO WORK, WE CAN'T HAVE NO HEAT. *TR
