Consumer Description

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2000 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4X4. CAR DROVE FINE FOR FIRST 2 DAYS. DAY 3: STARTED MY CAR, IT DIED HALF WAY DOWN MY DRIVE WAY, COULD NOT GET IT STARTED AGAIN. PUSHED IT BACK AND LET IT COOL DOWN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON, TEMPERATURE IS NORMAL. STARTED IT AFTER 20MINUTES AND IT STARTED UP. LET IT IDLE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. AS SOON AS MY FOOT LEFT THE GAS, IT DIED AGAIN. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANYTHING YET, AS I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT WHAT I HAVE. ON ONE WEBSITE ALONE THERE ARE OVER 100 CASES OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, NUMEROUS SUPPOSED FIXES, AND NONE WORKING. THIS IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE PCM SENSOR AND IT OVERHEATING. THIS ISSUE HAS PLACED SEVERAL DRIVERS IN DANGER, WITH THE CAR DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AT RANDOM TIMES, AND LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS A RECALL, IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR
