In 2014 my car had an issue where it started over heating. The car was previously part of a recall for the water pump breaking. This caused my car heating and cooling system not to work properly. This can be dangerous if driving and it happened while I was driving. I just had the same issue on October 20 of 2016.

The heater blows air at 215 degrees causing the heater vents to become very hot, and untouchable. The owner is unable to use the heater fully because it is like being in a sauna. GM knows about the problem, but has no resolution because the issue is a design issue. The owner is proceeding with the lemon law.
