Consumer Description

I STARTED MY TORRENT JUST LIKE ANY MORNING, THE HEATER RAN FOR MAYBE 10 MINUTES THEN JUST STOPPED. IT WILL NOT BLOW OUT ANY KIND OF AIR (HOT OR COLD). BEING WINTER, COLD AND FROSTY, THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. WITH NO DEFROSTER IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE, AND ITS VERY COLD. IT COSTS AROUND 1200 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. EVEN IF IT IS FIXED I AS TOLD THE WAY THAT THEY MADE THE TORRENT THAT IT WILL JUST BREAK AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF CASH JUST LAYING AROUND. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BUT GM IS TO CHEAP. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. I DRIVE ALONG WAYS AND ITS DANGEROUS NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. *TR
