this is crap, i am mad at dodge for having this problem in a lot of their durangos, and then i am really mad that this was a certified vehicle from the dealer and i have only had a month and a half, and only put on 1600 miles and they tell me that i am out $700, sorry! i am as pissed off as i have ever been. the dealer tells me that if i don't want to fix it right now, i can wait up to two years to take care of it without it causing any other damage. any thoughts from anyone as to whether that is indeed accurate?

this suv is a piece of crap. I have repaired or replaced everything but the paid. But if I look under the rubber on the rear windows there is rust. So I guess the paint is next
