Consumer Description

THE HEATER CORE BECOME CLOGGED PREVENTING AIR FLOW, TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I EVEN DID THE REGULAR SCHEDULED COOLANT FLUSHES TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING, AND IT STILL HAPPENED. IT BECOMES DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE HEATER CORE BECOMES SO BACKED UP THAT NOT EVEN A FULL HEATER CORE FLUSH CAN SAVE IT. I HAVE READ ON LINE THAT THIS IS A ISSUE THAT HAPPENS TO A LOT CHRYSLER VEHICLES, AND IT SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS TO DO A LOT TO WITH THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED THROUGH THE SAND CAST PROCESS. THE CAR HAS OVERHEATED ALSO HAS A HARD TIME KEEPING THE CAR WARM BECAUSE OF THE CLOGGED HEATER CORE. THIS PROBLEM HAS EFFECTED MANY OF THE 200 VEHICLES , AND IM SURPRISED THAT A RESOLVE HAS NOT BE BROUGHT OUT YET., IT ALMOST GOT ME IN A ACCIDENT ON THE TURNPIKE BECAUSE I COULDN'T DEFROST THE WINDOWS.
