Why would an A/C compressor die out? Need better parts.

Magnum SXT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

I bought a 2006 Dodge Magnum brand new from a dealership in San Jose California. At 30,000 miles the entire Door Housing Assembly Unit had to be replaced by Tracy Dodge, California. The AC/Heater vents blew very hot air - no shutoff! The repair involved removing the entire dashboard to replace the door unit. Rental car for 3 days $150.

Again, 2017 with 52,700 miles the same exact problem AC/Heater blowing very hot air from all vents and the repair consists of removing the entire dashboard and replacing the Door Housing Assembly Unit. Stoneridge Chrysler Dodge in Livermore, California said the 'control head' knob which controls heat/air conditioning tested bad while diagnosing the problem...replaced for $518.

This absolutely didn't fix the problem of hot air blowing from all vents - took the car back to Stoneridge Chrysler Dodge in Livermore California and estimate to fix the Door Housing Assembly Unit is approximately $2000 and removing the entire dashboard again. Chrysler Dodge is quite aware of this ongoing problem since 2002 on other models.

Stoneridge Chrysler Dodge knew exactly what the problem was but chose to replace the control head knob to gouge me for money and didn't fix the problem at all! I will never buy a Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat or Jeep automobile again. These have to be the worst cars ever made and are a disgrace to the American Automobile makers.

The Rear ac only blows cool if you have the AC cranked all the way up & all the way on cold blowing snowballs out the front vents, as soon as you turn it down a little in the blue area still if starts blowing heat out of the rear vents. Took it to Mac Haik Dodge of Houston & spoke to Mark & he said it was operating properly & that he had done all he could for my vehicle, and tried to say that the exhaust was heating up the air before it could blow out the vents, OMG yeah right completely shielded from the outside were the exhaust is. At Spring Dodge -Mike said he could tell that the AC was not working properly & that Dodge knows there is a problem but have not found a solution as of yet. WTF Dodge needs to get with it - I'm walking around with a cold while my kid burns up from the heat in the back of the car! I live in TEXAS PEOPLE its HOT.
