problem #2

May 102001

Regal 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles
The HVAC (temperature control panel) started fading in and out, and then eventually went blank. Seems to work fine. But cannot tell wether the defrost etc. Is set at and what temperature the heat or air is set at. Took to dealer, was told would cost $600 to fix. I also have trouble with water coming into the car on the front passenger side on floor. Have been told that it may be draining in from up under windshield washers. Also, had to replace all four Eagle ls tires. I had terrible vibration, took into shop and were told that they were unsafe to drive.

I have had five or six failures on this part on my two 1999 Regal gs. Would of been mor but I wait until display fades more until I replace. Dealer is aware. Factory is aware. I have extended warranty, so it is free. People on youe site had to pay $600. This will cause an accident because you can not tell what is set in the HVAC. If you need a constant heat and defog you can not tell. No display. Have to put hand to tell on vents. GM ignoring the problem! not being able to tell if you are in defog is a safety issue!
