NHTSA Complaint #10441933 — 2004 DODGE DURANGO

I BOUGHT MY DURANGO AT A USED DEALERS. IT HAD 56000 MILES ONE OWNER, 2010, CENTER COLUMN PANEL OVER HEATED AND YOU COULD SMELL PLASTIC BURNING. THE RADIO SHUT OFF THE AIR CONDITION CONTROLS WELL ACTUALLY EVERYTHING WAS SO HOT YOU HAD TO TURN OFF TRUCK TO LET THAT CENTER PANEL COOL DOWN BEFORE YOU COULD TURN THEM OFF,THE NEXT THING I STARTED HEARING A BAD SHIFTING NOISE AND IT BANGED REALLY LOUD LIKE FROM THE REAR END I ASSUMED. NO MATTER IF YOU WERE DRIVING SLOW OR FAST THE TRUCK WOULD DOWNSHIFT AND SOUNDING LIKE A ROD OR SOMETHING WAS GOING TO COME THROUGH THE FLOOR. I HAVE ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE DOWN WHEN WAS TOLD BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP AT THE TIME THE DOWNSHIFTING STARTED IT WAS 90,000 MILES ,NOW I AM AT 93,000 -OR 98,000 MILES AND SOMETHING IS REALLY KNOCKING TO ME I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FAN HITTING THE RADIATOR BUT NOT THE CASE, IT ALSO STALLS OUT IN THE RAIN AND ENGINE WONT START UNTIL AFTER RAIN HAS STOPPED, IT STALLS OUT ON SUNNY DAYS FOR NO REASON. YOU STILL HERE A THUD NOISE OR IT DOWNSHIFTING HARD AT 15 MILES AN HOUR OR IF YOU GO ANY SPEED IT CONTINUES TO DOWN SHIFT SHAKING THE VEHICLE. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER BUTTON BROKEN OFF FROM UNDER THE HOOD THE RUBBER AROUND THE HOOD KEEPS FALLING OFF INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS ARE SHORTING OUT. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK GOOD CARE FANTASTIC VEHICLE LOVE IT BUT IT HAS ISSUES BAD ISSUES. NOT DRIVABLE 930000# *KB
