Ram 1500 express 2012, lack of cabin air filter causes dirt to accumulate in the A/C evaporator core, wich combined with the moisture caused by the normal use of the A/C caused accelerated corrosion in the evaporator core causing A/C gases leak inside the cabin wich went to the atmosphere. Its a design flaw for wich I called chrysler customer service if theres a recall for and recived a negative answer, I had to pay 402 dollars to buy a replacement and 33 dollar modification kit to add a cabin filter. The gas leak occurred while I was driving to a tool store to get tools for my job and heard some noise like a leak and felt dizzy so I went ahead and opened the windows to breath fresh air because the gas leak made me feel sick so I dad to stop, all freon leaked within minutes. I appreciate the opportunity to fix this known issue because after looking online for air filters for that year wich by design don't have it I was shown modification kits from a lot of diferent sites so its a well known issue wich I feel that needs to be taken care of. Leak on old evaporator can be seen on the picture as a stain, clearly on the more dirty side of the evaporator. Thank you .
