I am having a problem with the A/C, heater switching to blow out through the defrost when accelerating or under load causing poor cooling/heating. I talked to chrysler and they said it would cost to figure out what is causing it to switch. I have had the compressor replaced while it was under warranty because it was leaking. I had to replace the cooling fan after warranty. It failed again almost a year later. But the part was replaced with only installation cost. I would be interested in knowing what other things can be done to solve the problem of switching to defrost.

Engine made a banging noise in morning, like it was going to blowout. It sounded like no oil was in engine. Consumer used up to 1 quart every 900 miles. Consumer has been battling this problem for sometime. Dealer said problem involved valve sleeve. Consumer had to pay $3000 to get it fixed because manufacturer wouldn't honor warranty.*ak the engine problem occured while the vehicle was under warranty but the dealer waited until the warranty expired. The consumer pointed out replacing or repairing the engine out of pocket was very expensive.
