No heat coming in the SUV to defrost windows or to warm up the inside. Total repair will be $800 for a $30 part. Plastic plate that controls the air and heat is defective. Apparently the part after sometime get weak from hot and cold conditions. Only way to fix is to tear complete dash board out to reach blower assembly, replace vent door and reassemble the entire dash board.

My heater quit working in my 2006 Equinox. Apparently it is a common problem with the air temperature blend door. Since the potential danger is there during the winter GM should put out a recall on this part!
