| Description of the problem | Defroster doesn't work due to bad engineering on havc system. Blend door and re-circ door get broke due to sensers (dc servo motors) not operating properly. They over stress the pivot pins and break them. Because of this, the defroster doesn't work and the windows fog/freeze and you cannot see out of the windshield. Dodge refuses to address this issue. |
