Speedometer quit working and (subsequently) now the crusie control will not work either.

problem #4

Durango 4WD

My engine died with 44,000 miles due to sludge build-up dealership says I did'nt change my oil but I did and I have reciepts. I have all my paper work where I took it in for repairs for the guages going off and oil pressure dropping, having to put 2 qts of oil every 200 miles, knocking in motor, and now my warranty is out I have a blown engine. Dealership refuses to accept any responsibility. My power windows and quit working in the summer could not roll down windows and the air condition was not blowing out cold air. Gas tank strap broke with a full tank of gas & was being held on with only 1 strap, gas tank was hanging down. I have several more minor gripes but the main thing now is the engine. I have read over some consumer complaints web sites and it seems I'm not the only person having the same problem.
