Tl- the contact owns a 2012 chysler 200. The contact stated that passenger side blower would not blow hot air from the passenger side vent and the passenger side of the front windshield would not defrost causing a visibility hazard for the driver. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer pat clemmons Chrysler(1720 s. Marshall st. Boone IA) who diagnosed that the heater coil was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000. Jft.
The passenger side of my defrost/vents does not work--it remains cold even on high heat and driver side hot. The windshield and passenger window remain foggy or ice covered, or after removing the fog or ice it rebuilds fog or ice while traveling on highways while snowing, extremely limiting visibility. This winter has been quite difficult to drive safely due to this condition.
My vehicle has roughly 54,000 miles. The heat does not work on the passenger side of the vehicle and is progressively becoming colder on the driver side of the vehicle. The car will not reach a warm enough temperature to be comfortable or to adequately defrost the windshield. This is a known issue to Chrysler and should be recalled. The parts involved are the heater core and radiator.
No heat/ defrost passenger side. Will not clear frost/ fog on passenger side windshield. Apparent known problem with sludge build up in heater core allegedly caused by component in coolant.
Passenger side pushes out cold air, terrible to drive in and uncomfortable. Battery has been replaced 4 times in the last 2 years. Alternator as well. While driving to work, my windshield frosted over from being so cold and I had to veer off the road to avoid getting into an accident.
Partial defrost. The coolant has something in it (from the factory) causing the heater core to plug up and then there is no defrost on the passenger side of the car. Thus impairing the visibility. My car has 24,000. Miles. Chrysler is aware of this problem. There was a star report sent to dealers in 2012. That report number is star case s1207000008.
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. While driving various speeds, the contact noticed that the heater failed to function on the front passenger side vent. The failure prevented the windows from defrosting in inclement weather. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. The VIN was not available.
The wipers now only work on high there no longer is any other speeds. When you turn them off they just stop where ever there at, at the time. Tipm faulty . Car has 80,000 km.
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that while driving at a low speed, the wind shield wipers were activated but failed to function. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that that totally integrated power module (tipm) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,300.
The defroster only blows cold air. No matter what the temperature or fan are set at. Thus making visibility when the windshield fogs up very poor. By the research that I have done it is because during the manufacturing process pin hole leaks were discovered in the radiator instead of replacing the affected part they put a stop leak formula in the heating system. This was an improper product and caused a sludge build up which irreparably destroyed the heater core. In addition to the defroster problem hot air only comes out of the drivers side vents while cols air comes out of the passenger side vents,.
Heater blows out cold air I have no heat I cant defrost car windows to see . This has been happening since 2016 Jan I have replaced actuvator blendoor 3 times . . . . Thermostat 2 of them. . . Flushed the heater core . . . . . Found out I have a sludge or blockage in my radiator and heatercore plus need radiator cap 2500 to fix ? its a 20.
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the passenger side heat blower had malfunctioned and the passenger side windshield would not defrost. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the a/c unit did not emit hot air on the passenger side as a result the vehicle would not defrost. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000. Djr.
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. While driving approximately 10 mph and activating the right turn signal, the windshield wipers engaged automatically. The failure recurred every time the turn signals were used. In addition, the heater would blow hot air through the driver side vents and cold air through the passenger side vents. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
Suddenly and with out warning, while driving in light rain conditions, the windshield wipers failed to operate on any speed setting but high. They also would not park when shut off, which necessitated timing the shut off. The vehicle was diagnosed at a local dealer as needing a new tipm. Total cost $1638. 50.
Windshield wipers quit working. Only wipe on high. Took into dealer to repair, they replaced the wiper motor. Did not fix problem, they then ran codes to tell me it is the tipm. My extended warranty company said they will not cover, problem still not fixed.
My windshield wipers just stopped in the middle of a storm & will now only come on high.
Wipers only work on high. Wiper motor shorted to ground causing internal collateral damage to tipm. Removed and replaced wiper motor. Removed and replaced tipm and updated software.
There is low heat output from the heater vents due to the heater core plugging up with "sludge" as Chrysler calls it. There is a Chrysler star technical assistance hotline case, number s1207000008 explaining heater core restriction due to sludge causing poor heater system performance. It is a well known problem with a large number of chrylser 200 and Dodge avengers which I am sure can be verified by Chrysler. I believe it should be a recall, or at least an extended warranty issue. The star case states to replace the heater core, radiator, radiator cap and reverse flush the entire system if the customer complaint can be verified by the technician, however it does not explain the actual cause of the sludge. The symptom first noticed is little or no heat on the passenger side of the vehicle, then progressively lower heat output the more plugged the heater core becomes as time goes on. I believe in cold climates this could also cause the windshield to stay iced over, or become iced over as you drive down the road due to wind chill factor of the vehicle speed. It could also be aggravated by the fact that the air conditioner runs with the heater on defrost ( to dry interior air in order to DE-fog the windshield in humid or rainy weather) which further cools the already cold air coming from the defroster vent if the heater core eventually becomes completely plugged. In hot climates, the heater core still plugs up, however the customer may never notice the symptoms. I also happen to be Chrysler academy master certified in all core curriculum, powertrain, electrical and chassis. Ase master and advanced level certified (a1 through a9 and l1) ase certified parts specialist(p2)and service consultant(c1) and I have an aos degree in automotive trades from suny alfred. New york state dmv certifications( f. E. E. T, s. T. E. P, c. A. P. S, f. I. S. T. ). Credntials can be verified upon request.
The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 200. The contact stated that the air conditioner unit failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the recirculation door actuator for the defrost and air conditioning unit failed. The vehicle was repaired twice, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
"takata recall" when it is cold the defrost won't work and the passenger side of the car is extremely cold.
Heater and defroster fail on passenger side of vehicle. This causes the driver to not be able to see. The cause of this failure is do to faulty fluid/design by Chrysler. This is a major safety issues.
