| Vehicle has had a very extensive history of heater/defroster failures. this is obviously a known issue with all the dodge trucks. first the recirc door/actuator broke, they wanted $1000.00 to fix, then the heater control stopped working. paid for that to be fixed. now the blend door broke, $1500.00 to fix. all of these issues happened in 1 years time. cheap plastic parts to save money doesn't seem to be saving anyone money except them. this is a danger to all dodge truck owners. when the defroster no longer works, it is pretty hard to see, and when it is hard to see..how can you drive safely? they don't want to recall all the trucks at $1000.00 per truck to fix, so they just let the owners pay for it. can't say i will ever buy another dodge. | |||
