Consumer Description

DEFROSTER / HEATER/ AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL FAILS. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ADDRESSED IN K17 RECALL. K17 RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 03/22/2011. HEATER / DEFROSTER / AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS ARE STILL DEFECTIVE AS PER DESCRIPTION OF K17 RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS. IN THE WINTER THERE IS NO DEFROSTER AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY SWITCH TO THE DEFROSTER MODE.
