The defroster and heater vents only put out heat on the drivers side of the vehiclve. This is the third time the heater core needed replacement fo this same problem. Cost is around $1,000 to do the repair. All have been replace by a Dodge dealer. The last time repaired a service manager said it will happen again. Poor design and response. Dodge corporate is useless on this matter.
