Overheating when in park, needle goes down when you begin to drive, to vehicle for inspections said need thermostat, upper and lower radiator hose, radiator cap, fan clutch and new radiator, replaced all of these items, now obd light illuminates with a code stating misfire in cylinder 1, had the coil replaced along with engine tune up, did not correct problem. I have never missed a service on vehicle, have all documentation for service repair since I purchased in 2004. Vehicle does not drive the same, it drives like spark plugs are miss firing or something.
My Dodge Durango 2004 has been in the shop (dealer) for over a month due to over heating. Over the course of this time, the thermostat, relays, water pump, and fan clutch were changed. The radiator flushed. The dealer now believes its the head. The check engine light has gone on. Worst yet, the car has stalled on me twice during heavy traffic while trying to turn at a low speed. This worries me since I could have gotten in an accident each time. I want the car out of the shop but I am afraid to drive it. I no longer feel confident to go anywhere particularly long distances with it.
