Broken Pivot HVAC

[Majerus]

Has anyone had an issue where their HVAC box has a broken pivot by chance? I have my car in the shop (out of warranty) and am being quoted over 2500 to replace my entire hvac unit. I cannot find another thread where this has occurred. Thanks!

HVAC does break down so that is not unusual. The cause can be all different and could be fixed by yourself for $16 or as you quoted thousands of dollars.

Sure I get hvac systems break, however I have never heard of a pivot before. If it can be fixed for $16 why would they quote a whole assembly.

That's how tesla operates. They replace the whole thing instead of repairing it.
