| Description of the problem | The recirculating door breaks without warning and occludes the airflow to the defroster. This is happening on dodge trucks and has been happening for quite awhile. Mine is a 2006 3500 when the door breaks pieces of it get into the blower and causes a major vibration when turned on high, since your defroster does not work it is a driving hazard dodge should be made to fix this issue free of charge instead of charging people $500. 00 + to fix a known defect. |
