| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT HEATER WON'T BLOW HOT AIR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DEALERSHIP SAYS TEST FOR ENGINE LIGHT IS A LARGE GAS LEAK AND THE GAS CAP NEEDED REPLACING ONLY A MERE $180. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP MYSELF FOR $20 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THIS CAR NEEDS MAJOR RECALLS BUT GM WON'T FIX ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MAJOR COMPLAINTS EVERY WHERE YOU LOOK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN'T EVEN GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE HEATER BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE ENTIRE DASH OFF AND IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME IF I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO FIX IT WHILE THE DASH WAS OFF. THEY ESTIMATED OVER $1,000 TO FIX THE HEATER BUT SAID IT COULD BE MORE ONCE THE DASH WAS REMOVED. HOW CAN I SAVE MONEY FOR A REPAIR IF I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL COST. PLEASE HELP! *TR |
| 2006 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM | I AM TOTALLY OUTRAGED FINDING OUT THAT GM PLACED A NON SAFE PART ON THIS TRUCK THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. IT WILL COST $1000.00 EVEN AFTER KEEPING THIS TRUCK MAINTENANCE FREE, TROUBLE FREE FROM REGULAR MAINTENANCE AT THE DELIVER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS PART WAS NOT RECALLED AS THE PART COSTS BETWEEN $22-100.00 WHILE THE LABOR BECAUSE OF WHERE IT IS WILL COST UP TO $1000.00 AT THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECK UPS WITH. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ALL OF THE CONSUMERS ON HERE: THE ACTUATOR THAT OPERATES THE HEATER BLEND DOOR - OVEREXTENDS AND BREAKS THE HEATER BLEND DOOR. THIS CAUSES THE HEATER TO NOT WORK AT ALL. THE ACTUATORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE HEATER DOORS ARE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY BREAK DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IF THE HEAT DOESN'T WORK THE WINDOWS WON'T DEFROST SO THIS IS A VISIBILITY HAZARD. I ALSO LISTED IT AS AN ELECTRICAL AND UNKNOWN HAZARD. *TR |
