NHTSA Complaint #11170582 — 2014 DODGE AVENGER

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY AVENGER IS BLOWING NOTHING BUT COLD AIR. THE HEATER AND DEFROST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WORKS GREAT. IN WINTER DRIVING THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT DEFROST AND THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE READ WHERE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER CORP. WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH DEBRIS COMING FROM THE WATER JACKETS AROUND THE ENGINE. IT IS NOT THE BLENDER DOOR AS I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED. FLUSHING OR REPLACING THE HEATER CORE IS PROBABLY NOT AN OPTION SINCE IT WILL JUST CLOG THE HEATER CORE AGAIN AND THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. UNTIL ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN THIS WILL JUST KEEP HAPPENING UNTIL DODGE FIGURES OUT HOW THEY CAN FIX IT PERMANENTLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN WINTER WEATHER AND IT IS A MYSTERY, AFTER SPENDING 100'S OF DOLLARS ON A CAR YOU SHOULD EXPECT TO GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR.
