I bought a 2005 Dodge Durango ST three weeks ago from a reputable dealer. Since then, I have had to take it back to the dealership twice because it would stutter and the check engine light came on. The mechanic (It's a GMC dealership) said that it was moisture in the #1 cylinder. He dried it out (with a blow dryer) and it ran fine....until it rained or a car wash. I washed it yesterday and it's having the same issues. I'm taking it back to the dealership in the morning. My questions are: first--have any of you experienced similar problems?; second--what kind of preventive maintenance can I as a car owner do?; third--is it really a moisture issue; and finally--should I let them have it back and get something else?
I appreciate any knowledge you might have on this issue. Thanks in advance.

Maybe the plug wires are faulty. You should be able to spray the engine down and not have problems. Take it back and make them fix it.

If you are getting moisture(coolant) into your cylinder, then you either have a small leak in the intake gasket or head gasket, just on that cylinder..They are going to try to keep you at bay until you run it hot, then the selling dealership will no longer be at fault with selling you a vehicle that had a problem..beleive me..moisture is not common in the cylinders..the only thing that goes into the cylinders is gas...

you will possibly could desire to get a police rfile. I doubt that the steer sparkling of broker will in simple terms fork over a sparkling Durango. you may get a used one yet make beneficial that the keep in mind has been accomplished on that one.
