NHTSA Complaint #10238655 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED W/ HEMI. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED W/ 26,000 MILES ON IT A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS W/ IT: BROKEN REMOTE KEYS-THE REMOTE LOCKING DEVICES ON BOTH KEYS ARE NOW DYSFUNCTIONAL DUE TO THE SOLDER THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN PLACE BREAKING. I CANNOT LOCK/UNLOCK VEHICLE FROM OUTSIDE AND WHEN IT IS LOCKED FROM INSIDE PRIOR TO EXITING, UPON RE-ENTRY, THE ALARM SOUNDS UNTIL KEY IS PUT INTO IGNITION AND VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THESE KEYS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!! WINDOWS SHAKING WHILE ROLLED DOWN-ANYTIME ANY OF THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN THEY SHAKE VIOLENTLY W/ IN THEIR CASING. THERE IS ALSO QUITE A BIT OF WIND NOISE HEARD WHEN WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP COMPLETELY. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. NAVIGATION SYSTEM-THE MAIN KNOB HAS BECOME ALMOST DYSFUNCTIONAL. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS STICKING OUT FARTHER THAN IT ONCE HAD. WITH OUT USE OF THIS KNOB, THE ENTIRE NAV SYSTEM IS VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE. SEATBELT COVER-DRIVERS SIDE PLASTIC DUST COVER WHERE SEATBELT GOES INTO SEAT CAME OFF AND THE PLASTIC AROUND IT HAS A CRACK IN IT. THERE IS QUITE ALOT OF DUST BUILDING UP INSIDE THE SEATBELT MECHANISM. LIFTGATE SCREWS FALLING OUT-THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THEY ARE TIGHTENED. IT IS THE SCREWS THAT HOLD THE PLASTIC ON THE INSIDE OF THE LIFTGATE-WHERE THE CLOSING HANDLES ARE LOCATED. BROKEN PIN ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL-DEALER CALLING THIS A "PUSH NUT PIN" AND IT IS WHAT ATTACHES THE ACCELERATOR TO THE ARM. DEALERSHIP CERTAIN IT IS A PART MALFUNCTION HOWEVER CHRYSLER REFUSING TO REPAIR. UNDERSIDE STEERING WHEEL RADIO CONTROL-THE LEFT BUTTON THAT CHANGES THE PRE-SET RADIO STATIONS AS WELL AS WHICH DISK IS PLAYING IN THE CD CHANGER IS STICKING. IF YOU JUST BARELY TOUCH IT THE STATIONS/CD'S CHANGE CONTINUOUSLY. IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP, YOU MUST DEPRESS IT VERY HARD WHILE MOVING IT BACK AND FORTH. *TR
