NHTSA Complaint #10200413 — 1999 DODGE DURANGO

I HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH MY '99 DODGE DURANGO THAT STARTED WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON IN SEPTEMBER 27, 2005 AND IS NOW THE NEED FOR A NEW CPM. THE CAR INTERMITTENT STALLS WHILE RIDING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55MPH OR AFTER IDLING AT STOP LIGHT & TURNING LEFT (POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND CAR BLOCKS INTERSECTION/TRAFFIC) - "NO BUS" APPEARS ON MILEAGE, EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. SEEMS TO HAPPENS ON DAYS WHEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 75 DEGREES AND DISAPPEARS ONCE CAR HAS SAT (WHEREVER IT STALLED) FOR 20-30MINUTES. NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE APPEARS WHEN PUT THE CAR IS PUT ON THE COMPUTER AND I WAS ADVISED BY MORE THEN ONE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PROBLEM HAD TO GET WORSE AND PRODUCE A CODE BEFORE DEALERSHIP OR ANYONE ELSE COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT THE 8 YR FEDERAL POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED FOR ME, IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM IS &ALWAYS WAS THAT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) IS MALFUNCTIONING &NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS MAJOR COMPONENT IS COVERED THRU 8YRS/80,000 MI BY FEDERAL LAW BUT EVEN THOUGH PROBLEM BEGAN PRIOR TO 8TH YEAR, BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT DIAGNOSED UNTIL AFTER MY 8 YRS HAD BEEN EXCEEDED, IT IS NOW MY $800-$1200 BILL TO PAY (SINCE SEPT '05, HAVE REPLACED MOST COMPONENTS OF COOLANT SYSTEM, INTAKE MANIFOLD PAN GASKET, HEAD GASKET &STILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH ALIGNMENT/BALL JOINTS& REPEATED WINDOW MODULATOR PROBLEMS). *TR
