Defogger Problems of Dodge Dakota

The air pressure coming out of the vents was minimal while driving and just above minimal when in park. This is an all the time situation. Was told it could be a few things: blend door, circulation or vacuum issue. I started searching the issue online and found entire forums devoted to these issues. It was recommended that people file a complaint because it was agreed that a recall was or should be in order on that particular part or housing.

The contact owns a 2002 Dodge ram quad cab. The contact stated that the dashboard was fractured along the air conditioner and heater vent. The contact was concerned that the front passenger air bag could inadvertently deploy because of the fracture. The contact stated that the air conditioner and heater vent were inoperable on the lower settings due to obstruction from pieces of fractured debris. The contact stated that the air conditioner and heating system would only function on a high setting. The contact also stated that the windshield defroster was inoperable. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000. The VIN was not available.

Defroster would not work on a cold morning. The defroster would not work due to the resister being burnt out, and you had a hard time seeing out the windshield, and no heat was getting into the passenger compartment.

The problem that I have with this truck is the windows all fog/frost up including the front windshield. The defroster/heater is not sufficiant enough to clear the windows. I have brought this to the attention of the dealership several times and have requested the cancelation of my contract with them. I feel that it is very unsafe to travel this way but have had to several times. If I roll the windows down it will clear the fog off but does not clear the frost but as soon as I roll the window back up they fog/frost up again.

The windshield wipers lifted off the windshield when traveling over 60 mph. The wipers could not be adjusted to keep the blades from hitting the windshield frame. The defroster air flow does not keep the windshield clear of frozen ice or snow. The consumer has seven Dodge Dakota's ranging from 1994-2003 and they all have this problem.

No air flows through vents from outside vehicle. You can tell because, when driving with windows up, no air comes inside with dial set for vent. Blower moves air around, but won't bring air in. Took to dealer, they said it's normal since they drove another new vehicle and it does the same. Possible hazard because of potential carbon monoxide buildup in unvented vehicle?.
