Pontiac Torrent Visibility Defroster/defogger System Safety Report | Nov 08, 2010
Reported on Nov 08, 2010
| THE BLEND DOOR FOR HEATER IS BROKEN AND ONLY COLD AIR IS ALLOWED TO FLOW THROUGH. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED TO BREAK IN MANY TORRENTS. THE DOOR IS DESIGNED TO ONLY MOVE 60 DEGREES BUT THE ACTUATOR IS DESIGNED TO MOVE 180 DEGREES CAUSING THE DOOR TO BREAK. WHEN I CALLED TO TALK TO SEVERAL BODY SHOPS TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE, THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS HAPPENS IN MANY TORRENTS AND GM WILL NOT RECALL THE PART AND IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GET IT FIXED WHICH COULD COST ME BETWEEN $1000 AND $1500 FOR LABOR AND PARTS. *TR | |
