HEAT NO LONGER BLOWING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH A CLOGGING HEATER CORE, AND RADIATOR. THIS IS DUE TO THE WAY THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE WERE MADE. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HEATER CORE ON THE DODGE VEHICLES CLOGS EASILY. THE WAY THAT CLOG DEVELOPS ONLY EFFECTS THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT. IN THESE SITUATIONS, THE HEAT IS AVAILABLE ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS WILL GREATLY EFFECT THE VISIBILITY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOW COMPLAINT AMONG ALL DODGE VEHICLES.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2016. SINCE I GOT IT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT OR AC. IT STOPS AFTER ABOUT MAX 30 SECONDS. THIS WINTER THOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE NOW ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR OUT OF EVERY SETTING YOU CAN USE. THE DRIVER SIDE IS HOT AIR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FOR MANY PEOPLE. MY CAR WILL NOT GET WARM AT ALL DUE TO HALF OF THE CAR BLOWING COLD AIR.
