THE VEHICLE'S HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WARM AIR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SIMULTANEOUSLY. ALL VENTS ( FOOT AREA, FACE AREA, AND WINDSHIELD AREA) ARE AFFECTED.

MY 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 IS AFFECTED BY THE NHTSA RECALL 17V-821 (T79 MANUFACTURER RECALL) I HAVE HAD 2 INSTANCES OF MY TRUCK COMING OUT OF PARK IN THE LAST MONTH, I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL ONLINE, CHRYSLER/DODGE/RAM HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL AT ALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THE MAN I SPOKE TO SAID THERE IS NO FIX CURRENTLY AND IT COULD BE SEPTEMBER OR LATER BEFORE THERE IS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GIVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER OR HAVE THE DEALER BUY IT BACK AS I DONT FIND IT SAFE TO PARK THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE AS IT COULD ROLL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE WILL STALL OUT AND THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. RECALL FOR FAULTY ALTERNATOR RELEASED IN JUNE. THERE HAS YET TO BE A REMEDY OFFERED TO FIX IT.

AFTER REFUELING ENGINE DIES WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. HAPPENED LAST THREE TIMES AFTER REFUELING.

THE A/C / HEATER BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. DIFFICULT TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD. REPLACED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR BEHIND GLOVE BOX. THIS ONLY FIXED THE CLICKING NOISE. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

THE HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR IN THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR AND WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE CAR NEVER WARMS UP ENOUGH TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS IN WINTER. THE CAUSE IS SAND AND METAL SHAVINGS LEFT IN THE ENGINE BLOCK DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE ENGINE. THE SAND AND METAL SHAVINGS MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR BY ABOUT 50000.00 MILES OR SO. THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE HEATING ISSUE BECAUSE THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATER CORE PLUGS AND THE RADIATOR ALSO TO AN EXTENT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY DODGE FOR SURE. PLEASE HELP US FROM THE HIGH COST OF THE DEALERS 1300.00 CHARGE TO CHANGE THE HEATER CORE AND OR RADIATOR. FROM A DISCONTENT DODGE OWNER
