Some Dodge Stratus owners report experiencing issues with their heating and air conditioning systems, specifically that the system only functions on low settings and suffers from power loss on high settings. These problems may stem from a broken heater blower motor, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a failed heater blower motor resistor, which can lead to decreased air pressure and compromised performance. Additionally, issues such as refrigerant leaks, electrical climate control problems, or compressor failures are common culprits affecting the air conditioning system's functionality. Low refrigerant levels often result in inadequate cooling, particularly noticeable at higher settings. Owners are advised to check the heater blower motor, thermostat, and resistor for faults, inspect for refrigerant leaks and electrical issues, and ensure that cabin filters and vents are unobstructed. If problems persist, consulting a professional mechanic or HVAC technician is recommended for proper diagnosis and resolution.
