“Very little heat from floor vents.all heat seems to go to dash or windshield no matter what setting the switch is on.not much fun to drive 35 miles to town with no heat on feet when it's 15* or colder.”
NHTSA complaint #11072952, filed 2018-02, 109,930 miles“Most owners of multiple model year Dodge ram 2500/3500 4x4 pickups have or will encounter front cv driveshaft failures, u-joint failures or hanger bearing failures. This appears to be a very common problem that Dodge is completely ignoring and not covering under warranty as the part failures typically occur shortly after the initial 36 month warranty is expired. This is a serious safety issue which can result in loss of steering control and even a crash. …”
