THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY DEFROST/VENTS DOES NOT WORK--IT REMAINS COLD EVEN ON HIGH HEAT AND DRIVER SIDE HOT. THE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER WINDOW REMAIN FOGGY OR ICE COVERED, OR AFTER REMOVING THE FOG OR ICE IT REBUILDS FOG OR ICE WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS WHILE SNOWING, EXTREMELY LIMITING VISIBILITY. THIS WINTER HAS BEEN QUITE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY DUE TO THIS CONDITION.

TAKATA RECALL/AIR BAGS. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL (CA RECALL #S61) ON 9/13/16. WEBSITE IS SHOWING THE REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE AS OF TODAY 2/11/17. I WOULD THINK AFTER FIVE MONTHS THE PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. I'M VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION.

THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NO LONGER WORKING AND THEREFORE THE WINDOWS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT DEFROST. AFTER PERFORMING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE HEATER CORE THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT.

NO HEAT/ DEFROST PASSENGER SIDE. WILL NOT CLEAR FROST/ FOG ON PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD. APPARENT KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SLUDGE BUILD UP IN HEATER CORE ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY COMPONENT IN COOLANT.

THERE IS NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER SERVICE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BLOCKAGE IN THE HEATER CORE. THEY ADVISE THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, OIL COOLER AND FLUSH THE SYSTEM. THIS WORK WAS ESTIMATED AT $2,700. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP AND HAD THE HEATER CORE REPLACED, THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED AND A MANUAL FLUSH ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN HALF THE COST. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU CANNOT DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WHEN NECESSARY. I BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TICKETED FOR NOT HAVING SAFE VISIBILITY WHEN OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE SO THIS IS DEFECT THAT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL FOR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES SO IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A MAJOR COMPONENT LIKE THE HEATER CORE WOULD BE DAMAGED AND NOT WORK PROPERLY.
