The blend door that works the defroster for the windshield is faulty due to poor engineering. In cold weather this could cause serious accidents due to build up of snow and ice on the windshield. Dodge uses cheap parts for the blend door primarily plastic faulty parts. The mechanism that opens and closes the blend door wears out the two pieces that fit together. This causes either the plastic piece to break completely or just continue to rotate without opening or closing the blend door. Dodge will notrecall this because in order to do it right they have to pull the whole ventilation box and heator core out of the vehicle. However they would like to charge customers upwards of $1000-1400 to fix it. Please look into this there are numerous complaints all over the internet about Dodge and their faulty blend doors not working due to poor engineering and cheap parts.

My 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 suddenly lost all electrical and engine power when slowing for a red light on us27 4lane at somerset, ky. I was towing a equipment trailer and was able to steer around traffic and get stopped on shoulder. I notice smoke and smell of burnt plastic from under hood as soon as I got stopped. I was able to jerk the battery cable off with pliers and put fire out at fuse box next to battery. I had truck towed to somerset Dodge dealer who replaced the tipm module (under hood fuse block) . When I picked up truck next the next day I asked why did it burn with no fuses blown? I was told they found nothing else wrong with truck, I may need to check my trailer. This would not expain the fuse not blown. I purchased truck new in 2007 and use it towing cattle or farm equipment with never a fuse blown in truck in 49,000 miles or 5 years. This is a problem that dealer service advisor could not explain and there was no recall related to fuse block. I checked both my trailers and found no problems, which if there had been thats what fuses are for. I feel my dealer has done all they can but I am not satisfied with the failure of this fuse block. The incident on sept. 24, 2012 would have had a different end had I been in in left lane behind traffic at 55mph and towing five ton with limited braking on truck and none on trailer due to them being electric, also had it been night and the loss of headlights could have made steering around traffic impossible. The fact that this has been reported by other drivers/owners to this somerset dealership makes me think there is a need for Dodge to address this problem.

The vehicle experienced a problem with the seat base. The van was equipped with handicapped equipment. Provide further details. . . .
