Pontiac Torrent Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | Jan 05, 2011
Reported on Jan 05, 2011
| MY 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT HAS 28,100 MILES. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO TURN THE DEFROSTER ON FOR THE WINDSHIELD WHEN ALL I GOT WAS COLD AIR. IT DID NOT GIVE A WARNING AT ALL. I INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT THE TEMPERATURE DOOR HAS BROKEN INSIDE THE DASH WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WHICH I FEEL IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO MY FAMILY AND I. THE PART TO REPLACE IS UNDER $100 BUT THE LABOR MAKES THE ENTIRE REPAIR OVER $800. I REALLY FEEL THAT A TEMPERATURE DOOR IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A PART DEFECT THAN WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE IS HARDLY DRIVEN AND AS A FORMER GM EMPLOYEE, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE EXPECTING THE BEST QUALITY FROM MY FORMER EMPLOYER. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE IN THESE HARD TIMES, THE REGULAR CONSUMER DOES NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF MONEY TO SPEND ON THOSE TYPE OF VEHICLE DEFECTS. THANKS *LN | |
