What owners wrote
Intermittent climate control (HVAC) operation, poor air conditioning performance not cooling interior. After four attempts to fix a part has been on order from daimler chrysler since 07/14/06. The part has never arrived at the servicing dealership or do they know when it will arrive. The climate control system is non-operation and has no air movement from any vent on any setting. Two weeks I ago I had to drive the truck to work without the defroster working.
Failure of windshield wiper linkage caused loss of vision during heavy rain storm. This is obvious not an isolated incident. The dealers are selling the replacements as fast as they get them in. My dodge truck is only 4 years old and the linkage failed where the linkage arm is connect to the windshield wiper arm mount. The problem stems from a ball and socket design that requires an nylon bushing to hold the two parts together.
