| Description of the problem | Intermittent climate control (hvac) operation, poor air conditioning performance not cooling interior. After four attempts to fix a part has been on order from daimler chrysler since 07/14/06. The part has never arrived at the servicing dealership or do they know when it will arrive. The climate control system is non-operation and has no air movement from any vent on any setting. Two weeks i ago i had to drive the truck to work without the defroster working. I had to pull over several times to wipe the windshield with a towel so i could see to drive. A written complaint letter was sent to d. Chrysler on 05/23/06 stating the problems i have had, no resolution so far. I have now gone over 30 days without a functioning climate control system. No help from d. Chrysler or the three dealers that have worked on the truck.
