They cleaned out filter. 30 days later it happened again. They said the filter was clogged again. As the weather warmed up I didn't need the heat. As the colder weather approached again, used the heat 2 times and the 3 rd time the heater core went out completely. When I returned to the dealer there were about 10 other blazers there for the same reason. They say it is our problem now. …”
