Why is my Pontiac Torrent heater not working?
The job of your Torrent’s thermostat is to regulate the temperature of the engine. It does this by allowing water to enter the engine when it is getting hot, and by keeping coolant from entering while the vehicle warms up. Sometimes when a thermostat goes bad, it stays stuck open. This allows the coolant to continuously enter the engine.
