Consumer Description
DEFROSTER VENT IS NOT PUTTING OUT HOT AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS AND APPROX. 1/4 OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW TO FOG AND OR FROST OVER CAUSING SERIOUS VISIBILITY ISSUES! VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON THE ROAD, IT HAPPENS AT ANYTIME. VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT IS A CHRYSLER MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE ON THE DODGE AVENGERS. REPAIR SHOP FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE BUT STATED THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX AS THE ISSUE WILL CONTINUE TO REAPPEAR UNTIL CHRYSLER ADMITS THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ISSUES A RECALL TO RECTIFY THE DEFECT. DUE TO THE WINDOWS FOGGING AND OR FROSTING OVER IN COLD WEATHER, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF ASAP. THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS DUE TO VISIBILITY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
