“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?! …”
