While driving in the early am with fog and humidity, the defroster stopped blowing warm air, as air was diverted though the dash vents and not the defroster vents. I had made sure the dial was turned all the way to the right (defrost) but air was still coming out dash vents. Had to pull over as dash was fogging up. No matter what vent is selected on the dial, air not continues to blow through dash vents. This is a safety issue.
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the defroster failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they advised that the blend door needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The mode selector did not divert the air from the defroster or to floor heat the defroster door was broken when I brought to the garage to have fixed the mechanic told me it was a common problem for my truck it cost me $439 to have fixed.
