THE CAR HAD ONLY 35,000 MILES WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED. THE PASSENGER HEAT IS COLD, AND THE DEFROST WILL NOT WORK, WHILE THE DRIVER'S SIDE GETS WARM, AND WILL DEFROST A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD, AND NOTHING ON THE SIDE WINDOWS. THIS ISSUE IS A HAZARD FOR VISIBILITY IN THE WINTER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE MATTER TO FINDS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER 200 AND HAS A REPAIR BILL OF $1500 AS THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A BLOCKAGE OR CLOG IN THE SYSTEM.
