Visibility Related Problems of the 2019 Dodge Challenger

Wiper problem

I am filing a formal complaint regarding a premature, dangerous failure of the ac evaporator core on my 2019 Dodge Challenger r/t. The vehicle has only 22,000 original miles. An authorized service facility diagnosed the issue and confirmed that the evaporator core has suffered a complete internal failure and leak. This component is supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, and its premature failure at such low mileage points to a severe manufacturing, design, or material defect by fiat Chrysler automobiles (fca/stellantis). This defect presents two distinct, immediate safety hazards to vehicle occupants:severe visibility hazard / defrost failure: because the ac evaporator removes moisture from the cabin air, its total failure means the vehicle's defroster can no longer adequately clear the windshield. During humid or rainy conditions, the windshield suddenly, heavily, and completely fogs over, severely obstructing the driver's visibility. This creates an immediate risk of a collision as the driver is suddenly blinded while traveling at highway speeds, unable to clear the glass. Toxic chemical exposure: because the evaporator core is located directly inside the hvac air box, the active leak causes chemical refrigerant (r-1234yf) and atomized compressor oil mist to blow directly through the climate control vents into the sealed passenger cabin. Occupants are forced to breathe in these chemical vapors, causing physical discomfort, headaches, and respiratory irritation. This is a well-documented failure pattern among late-model Dodge Challengers, and I urge the NHTSA to investigate this equipment defect before it results in a visibility-related crash or prolonged chemical exposure injuries. I request that a formal defect investigation be launched, and that fca be forced to issue a safety recall to protect consumers from the extreme out-of-pocket costs and safety risks associated with this defective hvac component.
