Consumer Description

MY CAR KEEPS BLOWING ROAD DUST OUT OF ALL THE VENTS WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE HEATER AND A/C ARE ON OR OFF. WHEN I TURN ON MY HEATER/A/C IT RUNS THROUGH THE DEFROST, FACE VENTS, AND FLOORS VENTS, BEFORE IT WILL FINALLY SETTLE ON THE AREA I HAVE IT SET AT. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO A RECALL. THEY KNOW IT STEMS FROM THE HEATER CORE NOT BEING PROPERLY CLEANED BEFORE INSTALLING IT IN THE VEHICLE.
