I had noticed that heat was being supplied to only half of my car. Thankfully the Drivers side. With the sub zero temps, I had enough so I took my car into my dealership. Turns out....This is a problem that Chrysler knows about....They put some extra stuff in with the coolant that takes care of any pinhole leaks...apparently all manufacturers do...problem is...whatever Chrysler used is clogging up the heater cores in the 200's. This is NOT a recall, but what the service manager just told me. I am going to be without my car now for an unknown period because the parts they are required to place according to Chrysler are on national backorder. What are the parts?? Heater Core and Radiator.
I had posted a while back asking if anyone had noticed any "gelling" up of their coolant as I had...Not sure if this is related or not to that. Regardless...I will be getting fresh coolant, a full flush of the engine and a new parts. Hopefully this permanently fixes the problem.
for those of you wondering obout my mentioned gelling...a tech had looked at it at my last oil change and said it looked fine...Even though you could see it looked milky and cloudy....
PLEASE CHECK YOUR COOLANT!!!
