2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Visibility Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATING SYSTEM FAILED AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE VENTS PRODUCED COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GANDRUD DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (2300 AUTO PLAZA WAY, GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN 54302, 920-468-1212) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER ACTUATORS FAILED. THE FRONT ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE REAR ACTUATOR WAS NOT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTED ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT. THE REPAIR WAS ONLY EXTENDED TO THE 2014 AND 2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS. THE CONTACT WANTED TO PROVIDE THE FAILED ACTUATOR HEATER (PART NUMBER: 68299450AA). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,787.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY HOT AND THE WINDOW FAILED TO OPERATE.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V234000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY REAR QUARTER VENT WINDOWS WERE ON A RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP (MAY 2014) WHERE THEY DISCONNECTED THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH TO THE WINDOWS. IT HAS NOW BEEN NON-OPERATIONAL SINCE THEN. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE OFFICES AND THE DEALERSHIP ON A ROUTINE BASIS TO BE CONSTANTLY TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS WILL BE REPAIRED. THIS IS BEYOND A REASONABLE TIME TO FIX SOMETHING LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP ME AS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY WINDOWS OPERATIONAL. DODGE SIMPLY DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE AND HAVE NO INTEREST OR PRIORITY IN REPAIRING THIS DEFECT. THANKS *TR
