I have a 2009 Charger. When my car is up to temp and sitting, I have no heat, only cool air. When I drive, it’s hot. Could it be a thermostat or heater core? Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked to make sure the thermostat is working? What about the coolant level? Coolant level is good. Have no checked thermostat yet. There is no fluid in passenger floor. I was thinking thermostat first. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Charger yourself? What have you tried so far? I’ve tried nothing yet, was just trying to get an idea of where to start first and yes, fixing myself, depending on the job. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No, I think that’s all.

Good Afternoon That sounds like you are low on anti freeze Try running it with the cap off it may have an air pocket in the cooling system

Coolant is full. I don’t have the 50/50 in it either. I have the straight antifreeze.Okay will do. If that doesn’t work? Do you think it might possibly be thermostat or something else?
