NHTSA Complaint #10559817 — 2004 DODGE DURANGO

WATER IS GETTING UNDER THE COWL AND ONTO MY MOTOR. I HAVE TAKEN MY 2004 HEMI DURANGO TO SEVERAL SHOPS/DEALERS AND THE WATER IS CAUSING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. THE CYLINDERS ARE MISFIRING, SOME OF THE METAL PARTS UNDER THE HOOD HAVE RUSTED IRREPARABLY (IE. MOTOR HEAT GUARDS), THE WINDSHIELD GETS ICE ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, MY HEADLIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING, THE HEAT WORKS ONLY SOMETIMES DUE TO THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH GETTING WET, AND THIS WATER GETTING THROUGH IS ALSO CAUSING MY CAR TO STALL OR ALMOST STALL EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR TAKE IT THROUGH A CAR WASH. THIS WATER IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT IS ALSO RUSTING HORRIBLY FAST NEAR THE WHEEL WELLS AND ON THE BACK TRUNK HATCH. WITHIN ONLY 2 WEEKS OF COLD WEATHER I NOW HAVE A SOLID HOLE FROM THE RUST. WHY CAN'T THEY RECALL SOME PARTS AND FIX THIS? THE DEALER IS NO HELP, THEY ONLY WANT TO CHARGE ME HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO REPAIR PROBLEMS THAT WERE FACTORY DEFECTS. *TR
