Consumer Description

Driving to work my windshield filled up with steam to where I couldn’t see and needed to swerve and do an emergency stop. a smell of antifreeze filled the cab with a light haze, 60k miles so I began to do my research. There are countless forum postings about bad heater cores needing replacement. I am handy so I call my local dodge ram dealer and they tell me that there are over 3,400 heater cores on back order and they have no release date and that their shop is waiting on 7 of them. If someone experiences the issue I had today but in different circumstances it could turn catastrophically deadly
