    Price Check on Used 2019 Limited

    Make sure cold air doesn’t come out of the windshield defrost when you’re in normal vent mode. Causes windshield to fog in an environment that has higher humidity and not only is it annoying but is a distraction. I’ve posted about this on this forum and there seems to be many people experiencing...

    AC from defrost in all modes

    You are more than likely absolutely correct, so let’s force them to provide a solution by filing complaints with NHTSA! If enough of us get our complaints out there we have a chance of forcing a recall. Btw, @RamCares is nothing but an intel collecting arm of FCA. They don’t do a dang thing...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Probably picking up Monday morning. Evidently the Jeep loaner they gave me has a recall so I have to bring it back. I don’t know any of the mechanics there, or for that matter, any mechanics at all. I do have a call into lemon law attorney to see if that can also ruffle some feathers. Trying...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    For anyone that cares, today I received another call from dealer service department telling me the ram 1500 is ready for pick up. They claim they checked everything and even brought an “engineer” from FCA to look it over and they label the truck “running as designed”. He rattled off some bs...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Also filed my complaint with NHTSA, took less than 5 minutes. Everyone else should do the same to help us get this resolved. Or just keep riding around with fog or the heat on... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Here are some pics of my ram 1500 at the dealership with fogged out windows from defective ac system. All service tech said is “well it’s very humid out, turn up the temps on ac settings”. Mind you it was nearly 85 degrees that morning...what a joke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Doug, I’d love to hear how you reached a buy back. That’s really all I want now with this truck. Send me some info and pointers! Was buyback value full price, how many miles, etc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Did that and it still didn’t help me. Their next trick in the deck of cards is to say it runs as expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AC from defrost in all modes

    Albert, you touched on so many of the details that I’ve raised and I can tell your level of frustration, I’ve been there a lot lately. This is a major safety issue that could result in injury or even death to us as the driver or someone else on the road if the conditions are right and at the...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Oh I agree 100%, although I wasn’t aware it is an issue with all their models. I had a 13 and 16 1500 and they didn’t have the issue. Waiting for the 2020’s to roll out and I plan to check them as well. I’ve told Arrigo and FCA I plan to drop the fleet and file complaints with NHTSA, BBB, AG...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    No, this is Justin one of his brothers. I’ve got an open case with FCA but FCA will not do anything as they say it is running as expected. Apparently if all trucks they look at perform just as ****ty they call it running normal...FCA says its up to dealership for possible buy back and dealership...

    HVAC Teardown Bounty

    I’ve got the same issue of cold air leaking from window defrost causing condensation to form on my windshield. Dealer says it’s operating normal, which I vehemently disagree with, and they cannot do anything to resolve. I posted a separate thread in much more detail here last week and had man...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Hi Darlene, My truck is currently at the arrigo dodge Jeep dealership in Port Saint Lucie/ft Pierce Florida. Truck is a week old with 220 miles. They have told me this is normal operation and the truck is able to be picked up with no resolution. I’ve got 10 ram trucks with my company and plan...

    Issues with air vent positioning

    I have a not fully related but similar issue that I am experiencing and it is very aggravating. Unknown as to why, but with normal face AC setting on there is slight amounts of cool air coming from the front windshield defroster and side window defroster vents. In the normal muggy and humid...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Thanks for the responses guys, certainly evident I am not the only one experiencing this issue and I plan to raise hell down here at my local Arrigo Dodge dealership! We are a small family company and have 10 ram trucks and none of the others have this same problem, so I hope they find a way to...

    Cold Air from Window Defroster with AC set to Face only

    Have you had a chance to check TSB’s and flashed yet? My local service department said they didn’t have any available and thus this is normal functioning.
