Description of the problem	After completion of hvac recall, failure of mode door actuator caused inability to defrost windows. No remedy from chrysler as recall has been accomplished 6 months prior. Have a 2006 dodge with same problems with hvac in dash failures of mode door and recirculation door with 3 dealer replacements of both since purchased new. Last advised in january of 2013 that entire in dash hvac ducting/ door housings require replacement at a cost of over $1500. 2009 dodge has same/ similar design and is now experiencing same failures. Inability to select defrost is causitive of window fogging and icing leading to poor visibility in inclement conditions and will lead to accidents from same. Recall on 2009 does not address design issue that has plagued these trucks since 2006 (as evidenced by my other truck). This must be addressed nhtsa and chrysler before losses of lives mount. 2009 currently undrivable due to fear of rear wheel lock up due to pinion nut loss and still no notification of recall issued from chrysler.
