1 Speed Control Springs problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2016

I have a 2012 Avenger; the heat on the passenger side of the car stopped blowing hot air. I took the Avenger in for a diagnostic test and was told that the issue was from casing sand clogging the radiator, heater core and the oil cooler. This is a manufactures defect. Also the spring on the actuator door was sticking and not opening properly . . Poor contact materials on the connectors for the actuators!!. It seems that over time they oxidize and develop a resistance that attenuates the signal back to the control. When the signal gets too low the control loses track of the actuator position and keeps driving the motor, resulting in clicking or broken teeth. It is tough to reach the connector contacts to clean them- the clicking goes on even after the car is off!!!! please fix!.
