My cooling system is contaminated by inferior products manufactured within my Dodge Avenger. Material/s within the cooling system fail and cause debris to build up within the entire cooling system. This material/s is a sandy like substance that blocks critical cooling and heating components that has lead to major failures of my heating system via the debris blocking the heater core from functioning. I certain that this debris is also affecting my engine's cooling function.
The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Avenger. While operating the vehicle, the passenger side heater was faulty and only cold air blew from the vents. During the failure, the passenger side of the front windshield could not be defrosted. The vehicle was taken to all-star Dodge (11503 st. Charles rock rd, bridgeton, mo 36044) where it was diagnosed that the cooling system was clogged with sludge. The contact was informed that the entire cooling system needed to be replaced. The cause of the sludge was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 34,599.
My heater is not blowing out hot air. I was told that casting sand was in the cooling reservoir that's causing the heater to not blow out hot air and that the casting sand will cause sludge in my cooling system. Even though this is no fault of my making and this happened at the manufacturing plant Dodge will not fix their mistake nor is it covered by my lifetime added care plus warranty.
