Dodge compromised with me on the cost of repair for this problem. However, I believe that within a year I will have the same problem again with the evaporator coil leaking. There are many people who have experienced this same problem. I hope that they will report it so that you become aware of the severity of the problem. Dodge needs to either recall or at least replace for free these expensive components that are failing prematurely.
