Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 1999 record →

WHEN DRIVING YOU CAN FEEL COOL AIR GO FROM COOL TO WARM AND BACK TO COOL, TWO DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TESTED THE SHOP OKAY. WHEN THE OUTSIDE AMBEINT TEMP IS 100F. THE INSIDE TEMP OF THE CAR IS 87F. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL DOOR IS NOT DOWN ALL THE WAY AND IT IS OSCILLATING CAUSING THE COOL AIR TO BE HEATED UP BY THE HEATER CORE, CAUSING THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO BE WARM. I HAVE FAXED CHRYSLER ON THIS PROBLEM AND I HAD NO REPLY. TO ME I FEEL THAT I HAVE A WARRANTY PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER AND THIS VEHICLE. IF I CANNOT GET CHRYSLER MANAGEMENT TO REPLY, I WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE MYSELF. *AK

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
