| Description of the problem | No heat! Clogged heater core! Grit and slime in dirty/discolored oem coolant (10 yr/150k mile rated). Never touched or added to, unless undocumented by dealer. This is our family vehicle that my wife/kids use daily, and it is about 10f here in vt right now. Very common chrysler issue apparently and dealer does nothing but attempt to flush multiple times which does not solve the problem and is a huge inconvenience! I am still under 5 yr/100k powertrain warranty, since when is cooling system not part of power train? Heat was reduced last winter, this winter virtually none. Dangerous to constantly clear the windshield with no defrost! This needs to be a recall |
