2011 Chrysler 200 visibility problems

Filed Dec 9, 2020 · Visibility · OH

No heat coming out of passenger side vents and reduced heat coming out of driver side vents. I had the system reverse flushed and replaced with new coolant and did not fix the problem. This problem causes reduced visibility due to ineffective defrosting of windshield and side windows.

Heater core plugs from the dexcool braking down, then finally starts to leak causing lack of heat, eventually fogging the windows so you can't see causing multiple safety hazards. Common problem from what I see on line! You don't realize in summer when you buy the car till you go to use it in the spring and it's not covered under warranty!

A follow up to add on to my initial complaint. I have a screenshot showing how dangerous this issue can become if not resolved. My wipers and horn are a safety concern since they aren't working due to a defective total integrated power module. Please advise before another chrysler owner has the same problem and could possible harm themselves in a crash or others.

My wipers have started to not exactly stop working but that stop then start up again when you try to turn them on as if they are glitching. Then my horn stopped working so I went to get my car inspected. The total integrated power distribution module was not working apparently, a $1300 fix. This car has been a pain. Have replaced part after part. Have had 3 recalls and truly believe this should be a recall due to it being such a dumb thing. Even the mechanic was like this is the most expensive fix for a horn that I've ever seen!!

Clogged heater core on passenger side vents, all floor vents, and now also affecting driver's side. Defroster does not work properly on either side. Only blowing cold "air conditioning" temperature air. This occurred slowly over time but we noticed it the first time while traveling down the highway at 75mph in sub zero temperatures for 13 hours - the issue has progressed over the 13 hour trip and is completely clogged now. Took to an auto shop once at destination but they cannot flush the system because of the poor heater core design that won't allow for the fluid to flow through the dual system.
