Consumer Description

RAM 1500 EXPRESS 2012, LACK OF CABIN AIR FILTER CAUSES DIRT TO ACCUMULATE IN THE A/C EVAPORATOR CORE, WICH COMBINED WITH THE MOISTURE CAUSED BY THE NORMAL USE OF THE A/C CAUSED ACCELERATED CORROSION IN THE EVAPORATOR CORE CAUSING A/C GASES LEAK INSIDE THE CABIN WICH WENT TO THE ATMOSPHERE. ITS A DESIGN FLAW FOR WICH I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE IF THERES A RECALL FOR AND RECIVED A NEGATIVE ANSWER, I HAD TO PAY 402 DOLLARS TO BUY A REPLACEMENT AND 33 DOLLAR MODIFICATION KIT TO ADD A CABIN FILTER. THE GAS LEAK OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO A TOOL STORE TO GET TOOLS FOR MY JOB AND HEARD SOME NOISE LIKE A LEAK AND FELT DIZZY SO I WENT AHEAD AND OPENED THE WINDOWS TO BREATH FRESH AIR BECAUSE THE GAS LEAK MADE ME FEEL SICK SO I DAD TO STOP, ALL FREON LEAKED WITHIN MINUTES. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING ONLINE FOR AIR FILTERS FOR THAT YEAR WICH BY DESIGN DON'T HAVE IT I WAS SHOWN MODIFICATION KITS FROM A LOT OF DIFERENT SITES SO ITS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WICH I FEEL THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. LEAK ON OLD EVAPORATOR CAN BE SEEN ON THE PICTURE AS A STAIN, CLEARLY ON THE MORE DIRTY SIDE OF THE EVAPORATOR. THANK YOU .
