2006 Chevrolet Equinox

MY 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX STARTING BLOWING COLD AIR IN 2009. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED A PLASTIC PIECE KNOWN AS THE BLEND DOOR ASSEMBLY IS STUCK OR BROKEN AND IT WILL COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. WITHOUT HEAT MY WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFROST AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WENT TO A SITE (HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-EQUINOX/TNMHVCTE76U9HGTH4/P5) AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF GM OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE FORCED GM TO RECALL THIS ITEM. *TR

MY HEATER ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR! I'VE READ OVER 500 COMPLAINTS ON OTHER SIRES HOW GM DECIDED TO REPLACE A METAL DOOR ARM TO THE HEATER COMPONENT WITH A PLASTIC ONE WHICH ALMOST CERTAINLY WILL BREAK AT ONE POINT. USUALLY 3-4 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE! APPARENTLY THEIR IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF LABOR INVOLVED TO REPLACE A $60-200 PART WHICH IS ONLY AVAILABLE THRU THE DEALER AND A MIN. OF $1000 LABOR TO FIX BECAUSE IT REQUIRES REMOVING THE ENTIRE DASH AND OTHER VITAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE! IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND CHEVY IS NOW GOING TO START USING METAL ARMS?! GM WILL NOT RECALL THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH DEALERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AGREE THIS IS A SET UP. *TR
