Consumer Description

LACK OF HEAT IN THE CAR. THE SYSTEM WAS FLUSHED AND FOUND A HUGE AMOUNT OF SLUDGE BUILD UP DUE IN THE HEATER CORE. THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT DEFROST ENOUGH FOR THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN. WE HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY AND COULD NOT DRIVE IT. THE SYSTEM COULD FAIL DURING A DRIVE CYCLE OF DAY WITH EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. DODGE HAS ADMITTED IT WAS DUE TO A CASTING PROBLEM. I CAN NOT SELL THIS VEHICLE OR I WILL BE UPSIDE DOWN IN THE VALUE. THE COST OF THE FIX AT THE DEALER SHIP IS OVER $1200. *TR
