Dodge Durango intermittent AC issue with cold air on driver's side and hot air on passenger side on Dodge Durango

Problem overview

Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing intermittent AC issues, characterized by cold air on the driver's side and hot air on the passenger side. This problem may be caused by a malfunctioning temperature blend door actuator, which can lead to inconsistent temperature output across the vehicle. Additionally, a faulty heater core could result in varying temperatures if it is clogged or not working properly. Low refrigerant levels in the AC system can also contribute to this imbalance, causing one side to blow cold air while the other side blows hot. Furthermore, issues within the electrical system, such as faulty wiring, may disrupt the AC's functionality, leading to temperature disparities. To resolve these issues, owners are advised to inspect the temperature blend door actuator, evaluate the heater core, check refrigerant levels, and have the electrical system professionally examined.
