Six problems related to defogger have been reported for the 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The heater "vent control" has stopped working on my truck and I can no longer select "defrost" in my truck. This is a huge safety issue, as the vehicle cannot be driven without clear visibility through the front windshield. Apparently, this is a common issue for Dodge ram trucks and has never been recalled. I cannot defrost my windows as a result. I've been hold it's the hvac blend doors.
No heat or a/c on driver's side. It has dual climate zones. Looked on online forums and saw others are having same issues.
#1 when it got cold I turned it over to the heater. #2 heat will not come out the drivers side vents ,only blows cold air. Passenger side has heat but is lacking. This is on all of the heating system upper and lower. #3 have not had it repair can't afford it right know.
The consumer was unable to get the windows to remain defrosted. This caused poor visibility and unsafe driving conditions. The dealer indicated that nothing could be done to correct the problem.
Vehicle's windows and windshield developed frost while driving in inclement weather. Frost still existed when defroster/defogger system was engaged. This reduced the driver's visibility. Manufacturer indicated to the dealership that this was due to a problem with the circulation system that could not be corrected.
Consumer stated that he received a recall safety letter for the hvac blower harness. Dealer will disconnect the remote starter, but will charge some amount of $ to reconnect.
