Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The plastic air blend door, which is inside the heater air plenum, broke when the vehicle was just outside of warranty. two differenet dealers quoted me $700-$800 to make the repair since it involves removing the dash. i cannot bring myself to pay that much money just to have heat in the car, but it is a safety hazard in winter weather since i cannot keep the windshield defrosted.
