Problem overview

Some Dodge Charger owners report experiencing issues with the AC blowing hot air on the passenger side, which can be particularly frustrating if it recurs after repairs and a recharge. Common causes identified include low or overcharged refrigerant leading to imbalanced cooling, a faulty blend door actuator causing incorrect air distribution, and problems with a dirty or clogged evaporator affecting cooling efficiency. Additionally, some owners find that recurring evaporator issues suggest that the root cause was not fully addressed during initial repairs. To resolve these problems, it is recommended that a professional mechanic check refrigerant levels, verify the functionality of the blend door actuator, and conduct a thorough inspection of the evaporator to ensure optimal cooling performance is restored.
