VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK NO MATTER HOW LONG I HAVE MY CAR TURNED ON, SO WHEN IT GETS COLD AND MY WINDOW IS FOGGY OR ICES OVER I CAN NOT USE THE DEFROST. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE IT IS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND CONTINUES WHILE I AM DRIVING. WHEN I'M DRIVING AND MY WINDOW GETS FOGGY FROM ME BEING IN IT I HAVE NO WAY OF FIXING CAUSING ME TO SEE THROUGH A FOG. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER CORE REPLACED, AND IT HAS BEEN FLUSHED OUT. THIS ONLY FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT BY THE TIME IT GETS COLD AGAIN IT HAPPENS ALL OVER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
CAR HAS NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE AND A LITTLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IN MY INVESTIGATION THE HEATER CORE FROM THE FACTORY HAS SOME BAD SPOTS ON THE INSIDE THAT CAUSE METAL TO BUILD UP INSIDE HEATER CORE CAUSING THIS ISSUE. IN THE WINTER MAKES IT SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DEFROST THE WINSHIELD. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BY DODGE. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. THIS IS AN ISSUE KNOWN BY DODGE AND THEY DONT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

MY SEATBELTS WILL UNLATCH WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT, THE SEATBELTS WON'T GO IN BY THEMSELVES ANYMORE, AMD THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER WE FIXED THE RECALL. THEN ALL IN A YEAR THE THROTTLE BODY QUIT WORKING, THE ALTERNATOR STOPPED WORKING, IT WILL NOT KEEP A CHARGE, AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DRIVING FOR NO REASON AT ALL THE INSIDE LIGHTS WILL DIM AND BRIGHTEN. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION EXCEPT THE BATTERY CONSTANTLY DYING EVEN THOUGH THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY ARE NEW.
