Heater is blowing cold air only. Unable to defrost front windshield. This is very hazardous, as my winter driving visibility is limited. Suspect air blender door failure. This problem was addressed by tsb 11135 (May 30, 2012); however it only applies to 2006 Chevy Equinox. My car is a 2007 Chevy Equinox. I spoke with GM and they confirmed the tsb was only for the 2006 model year. My research leads me to believe that the 2007 model year should also be included. My heater parts might be from late model 2006.
