It sounds like the doors located within the hvac plenum box are broken. There is a fix for this common issue; however, it is time consuming. I have attached a link to the Heater Treater website which provides information regarding the issue you are experiencing as well as the parts necessary to make the repairs.

When are we loyal Dodge customers getting a TSB for this?

Suppose it'll take a few of us plowing into something as we can't see out the windshield!

Right now it's no inconvenience at all for Dodge.

1 thing to try...have the fan on LOW and try to get the defrost mode working.

I have to try on average 3-4 times before it picks up. Once it does, I can adjust the fan higher without worry.

In the winter, it stays on defrost once I get it there. Sucks, but I dont' want to pull the hvac module right now.

bway1341, glad you took that route and fixed the problem the only way it can be fixed!!! Had mine in for about a year now and everything works perfectly. I'll do it again if I ever own another Dodge.
