I drive a 2010 Dodge Avenger and have a few problems with it. . . Window defrost and passenger heat /air. While either in motion or while driving, no heated air exits the passenger side of the windshield defroster, nor the passenger window defrost, lower and center console vents. Heated air only exits the driver's side windshield and driver's side dash vents. Problem persists through all cabin air modes, and circulations. This safety issue effects visibility and passenger safety by failing to defrost/defog windows and keeping cabin tempuratures near or below freezing during cold weather (blowing cold air into the cabin). My hazard light also do nit work. . . Hazard switch includes the heated seat button and the whole thang sees to be dead and not working at all. I've checked fuses and all connection everything is okay but still nothing out of the switches at all.
