I OWN A 99 DODGE DURANGO, 5.9 LITER, THE EVENTS TO THE FAILURE WERE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, AT STOP, IN INTERSECTIONS, WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART, DASH CLUSTER WOULD NOT FUNCTION, READ NO BUS ON ODOMETER, AND SHOW I HAD NO FUEL ON GAS GAUGE. ALSO WHEN IT WOULD STALL I WOULD LOSE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, MAKING IT HARD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC OR MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD MY WIFE AND 2 INFANTS WITH ME ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65 IN THE MIDDLE LANE. NOT ONLY UNEXPECTED, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SINCE THEN I WILL NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR. THINGS THAT WERE DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WERE FUEL PUMP, CAP AND ROTOR, PLUGS, WIRES, CRANK SENSOR, AND PCM. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ALL WORK AND PARTS. OLD PCM NOT AVAILABLE...

THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM. MY 99 DODGE DURANGO HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY WEBSITES AND HEARD FROM MANY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE ECU IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE'S HEAT AND CAUSES IT OR THE WIRES TO SHORT OUT ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER HEAT. ONE IT SHUTS OFF IT WILL START AGAIN BUT IT SEEMS IT NEEDS A BIT TO COOL DOWN. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX IT YET CAUSE I HEAR THERE IS NO SOLUTION. I HAVE PURCHASED SOME HEAT SHIELDING TAPE AND SHEETS TO PUT AROUND IT BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM IN THE MAIL SO HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET. *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO - ENGINE STALLS DURING DRIVING, RELATES TO COMPUTER OVERHEATING. I HAD THE COMPUTER REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS. VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP OR TURN D/T POWER LOSS. LAST OCCURRED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE WHILE TURNING. COMPUTER RETURNS NO CODES BUT ODOMETER DISPLAYS NO BUS. ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS WAY TOO HOT FOR THIS COMPONENT SO I DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING TO WORK EXCEPT RE-ROUTING THE WIRING AND MOUNTING THE COMPUTER OUTSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAVE TRIED IMPROVED AIR FLOW AND INSULATION BUT IT SIMPLY GETS TOO HOT. I CANNOT STRESS THE LEVEL OF RISK THIS PROBLEM PRESENTS. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS PULLING A TRAILER OVER ONE OF MY USUAL CAMPING ROUTES I WOULD NOT BE REPORTING THIS NOR WOULD ANYONE ELSE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE LOSING THE ENGINE ON A CANYON EDGE WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE...

ENGINE CUTS OFF WHEN CPU GETS HOT, YOU CAN WAIT A FEW MINUTES & ENGINE WILL START & OTHER TIMES NOT. A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THEM HAVE TO GET A NEW CPU, BUT LOOKS LIKE THE PROBLEM WILL COME BACK. THE COMPUTER GETS VERY VERY HOT WHERE IT IS LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD. *TR

I HAVE A DODGE DURANGO 1999 IT KEEPS ON DYING FOR NO REASON SOMETIMES IT STARTS BACK UP IN 15 MINUTES OR SO BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT DOESN'T START AT ALL UNTIL THE NEXT DAY, I CHANGE THE GS PUMP THREE DIFFERENT SENSORS MORE THAN ONCE EACH TOOK IT TO DIFFERENT SHOPS THEY ALWAYS CHANGE THE SAME THINGS IT SHOWS THAT IS ON EMPTY (NO GAS) WHEN IT DOES HAVE GAS IT ALSO SHOWS THE NO BUS LIGHT IM FRUSTRATE IT I I'VE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON IT AND I DEPEND ON IT TO GET ME AND MY 7 MONTH OLD BABY AROUND THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO PLEASE HELP. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM THAT HASN'T HAPPENED TO ONE OR TWO PEOPLE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OUT THERE PLUS THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. *TR

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD . SOMETIMES IT TAKES 15-20 MIN FOR IT TO START UP ...BUT IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE IN THE HOT SUMMERS. LATELY I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AND IT DOES IT MORE AND MORE . I HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING HIT BY A 18 WHEELER! *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO 5. 2 SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND LOOSES ALL POWER WHEN THE COMPUTER GETS TOO HOT. EITHER DRIVING 70 MPH ON FREEWAY OR JUST IDLING VERY UNSAFE WHEN YOU LOOSE ALL POWER AND CANT STOP OR STEER. TRUCK WILL NOT START TILL THE ECM COOLS OFF THEN WILL HAPPEN 10 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND I HAVE DONE RESEARCH OVER THE VEHICLE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS MINE SHUTS OF NO LESS THEN 7 TIMES FROM HOME TO THE STORE WHICH IS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IT I HAVE NOTHING ELSE AND I CANT AFFORD TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIX I FEEL MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE IN THE SAME SHAPE AS ME AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY FOR INSTANCE EARLIER TODAY I WENT TO THE STORE AND IT SHUT OFF AT A STOP SIGN AND I TRIED TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE ROAD AND IT WAS TO HEAVY FOR ME TO PUSH UNTIL ONE MAN CAME TO HELP ME AND...

THE PCM/ECU FAILS GIVING THE NO BUS SIGNAL ON ODOMETER WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK SHUTS DOWN AND LOSING POWER STEERING MAKING IT HARD TO STEER AND LOSS OF VACUUM MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO 5.9L V8 WITH 173,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT FROM A PRIVATE SELLER AND TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR JUST STALLS AND READS NO BUS ON SPEED ODOMETER , THEN I FOUND OUT IF I WIGGLE THE LEFT BLACK COMPUTER PLUG FOR A FEW MIN IT STARTS BACK UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN I SEARCHED GOOGLE AND FOUND PAGES AND PAGES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM STALLING. I HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS NOW AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND NO ONE CAN FIND HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND AS ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE MY PCM FAILED AND THE SECOND ONE IS FAILING NOW JUST ONE YEAR LATER! DODGE DEALERS HERE ALL KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM SO ONE WOULD ASSUME DODGE KNOWS. THE PLACEMENT OF THE PCM ON THE PASSENGER FRONT FENDER GATHERS EXES HEAT OFF THE MANIFOLD WHICH CAUSES IT TO FAIL. THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY COST WAY TO MUCH TO REPAIR, IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE PCM FAILS THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF DEAD. A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BREAKS IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS AS LARGE AS THIS ONE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FILLED ON THIS VEHICLE SOMETHING NEED DONE! *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. IT STARTED LAST SUMMER WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED DYING FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK TO MECHANIC SAID O2 SENSOR. REPLACED. THEN DOES IT A FEW DAYS LATER. TOOK BACK. TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. REBUILT. THEN WINTER COMES RUNS GREAT. THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS FIXED. SO THIS SUMMER COMES, STARTS DYING AGAIN. SO TOOK TO A MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. REPLACED. DID IT AS I LEFT HIS HOUSE. HE TOOK IT BACK SAID IT WAS THE PCM. AM STILL WAITING FOR ONE AFTER THE ONE I GOT WAS BAD. REPLACED ANOTHER O2 SENSOR AND IT DIES 5 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME YESTERDAY WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD AND MY 7 MONTH OLD IN MY VEHICLE. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA SO TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN 92 DEGREE WEATHER IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS NOT...

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO LOSING ALL POWER. THE ODOMETER READY "NO BUS" AND NOTHING IN THE TRUCK WORKS, NOT EVEN THE BRAKES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DURANGO. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT'S DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE TRUCK'S COMPUTER. IT IS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE ENGINE AND WITH THE INCREASED HEAT DURING THE SUMMER, THE COMBINATION IS TOO MUCH FOR THE COMPUTER TO HANDLE SO IT SHUTS DOWN. THE BEST REFERENCE OF THIS I READ WAS "THE BRAIN STOP TALKING TO THE BODY" THAT INDICATES HOW SERIOUS THIS IS. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED THIS WAY AND I'M UNSURE IF THE COMPUTER CAN BE MOVED WITHOUT CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 10 TIMES. ALL OCCURRENCES WERE DAYS...

I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY UP TO 70MPH THEN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF, GOES DEAD EVERYTHING GETS LOCKED REALLY HARD TO KEEP IN CONTROL AFTER EVERYTHING LOCKS UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING IT ON THE FREEWAYS DUE TO IT GOES DEAD AFTER A FEW MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL BE MY (CBM) OR THE MAIN COMPUTER IT GETS HOT AND IT RESET IT SELF AFTER 20MIN OF NO BUS WHICH WILL APPEAR ON THE MILEAGE READER AND I READ LOTS OF THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING . *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO. TRUCK HAS BEEN STALLING AND DYING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN CAUSING YOU TO LOSE POWER BRAKE + STEERING. I'VE CHANGED ALL SENSORS. PLUGS, WIRES ETC, AND STILL STALLS. NO MECHANIC OR DEALER CAN RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM AND DODGE HAS NO RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM BEING AN ISSUE, I'M THE FIRST! HA! *TR

DODGE DURANGO 1999 ENGINE JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING GAUGES DROP ENGINE STALLS, THEN HOLD ON AND PRAY THAT NOBODY HITS YOU, I HAVE HAD THE PCM REPLACED AT THE DEALER $850.00 ONLY FOR IT TO START THE SAME PROBLEM 5 WEEKS LATER, I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY IT SHOWS NO ERROR AND WITHOUT IT BEING DOWN THEY ARE UNABLE TO TEST ANY FURTHER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1300.00 AND MANY HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE! I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO AVOID NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE ABS LIGHTS TURN ON CHECK ENGINE AND BREAK. THE SUV TURNS OFF ALSO KILLS MY BATTERY CHECKED ALTERNATOR CHECKED ELECTRICAL TERMINALS, CHANGED SPEED SENSORS. I SPENT THOUSANDS ON THE TRUCK AND IT IS PISSING ME OFF. *TR

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO TURNS OFF ANYTIME THE TEMPERATURE GETS ABOVE 85F. THIS HAPPENS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND EVEN DRIVING AT 70 MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM BUT IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING. ONE DAY SOMEONE WILL REAR END ME AND MY CHILDREN. *TR

THE DODGE DURANGO 1999, STALLS COMPLETELY WITH NO WARNING OR REASON. AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME (5 MINUTES) IT RUNS AGAIN. THERE IS NO APPARENT PROBLEM WHEN SCANNED OR IS SERVICED. THE IMMINENT DANGER IS THAT WHEN IT STALLS EVERYTHING LOCKS AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IT IS POTENTIAL RISK TO THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS. *TR

OWNER OF DODGE DURANGO 2 WEEKS AGO MY CAR STOPPED ALL OF A SUDDEN ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAITED AT LEAST 15 MINUTES THEREAFTER CAR STARTED AGAIN. TRUCK ALLOWED ME TO MAKE CLOSE TO MY HOME,BEFORE STOPPING AGAIN. ALTHOUGH THIS TIME I WAITED 30 MINUTES BEFORE VEHICLE WOULD STARTED AGAIN. I FINALLY ARRIVED HOME PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. NEXT MORNING TRUCK STARTED BUT COULD NOT MAKE IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, IT CONTINUE TO SHUT DOWN. I DECIDED TO HAVE IT TOWED. REPAIR STATION INSTALLED FUEL PUMP, PARTIAL INJECTION CLEANING AND IDLE, I DROVE THE TRUCK FOR 1 HOUR PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, WOKE UP NEXT MORNING TRUCK WOULD NOT START, FEW MINUTES LATER STARTED UP AGAIN, I TOOK TRUCK TO REPAIR SHOP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ID ANY PROBLEMS.THEREAFTER, TRUCK STOPPED AGAIN, I DECIDED TO TOW TO DEALERSHIP WHOM REPLACED CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, TUNE UP AND FULL...

BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2008 I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO SHUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON. I DID SOME ONLINE SEARCHING AND FOUND THE PCM,ECM UNIT WAS OVER HEATING, AFTER COOLING IT WITH AN ICE PACK FOR 5 MINUTES THE CAR WOULD START AGAIN. AFTER 3 MONTHS I FINALLY BOUGHT I REBUILT PCM ON EBAY, THEY PROGRAMMED THE UNIT FOR MY CAR AND IT RAN BETTER THEN EVER. WELL TODAY 6/4/2010 DON'T YOU KNOW IT DID IT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY DEAD, I STILL HAVE THE OLD UNIT AND POPPED THAT IN AND WOW IT STARTED. WE NEED TO FIGHT DODGE ON THIS TO RELOCATE THE PCM ON THE FIREWALL NEAR THE BATTERY WHERE IT STAYS COOL. ALL THE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE IS BLOWN TO THAT SIDE OF THE CAR CAUSING THIS ISSUE. HOW TO DO WE GET DODGE TO FIX...

I PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT NOTICE. IT IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. I HAVE INVESTED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND NOT EVEN THE DEALER CAN FIX. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM, SENSORS, FUEL PUMP TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE IS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY. THE WARNING GAUGES BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE SPORADICALLY AND THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT ADVISED THE MALFUNCTION MAY HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN CAUSED BY A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 167,000.

PCM IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT FENDER WELL. THE RADIATOR FAN ALSO BLOWS ONTO THE RIGHT FENDER. THE EXTREME HEAT CAUSES THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE THE PCM TO WARP WHEN IT GETS HOT AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TOO STALL. ONCE THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD COOLS AND FLATTEN OUTS IT RUNS FINE UNTIL IT GETS SO HOT THAT IT WARPS AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM BY USING A BLOW DRYER ON THE PCM. WHEN IT GOT HOT THE ENGINE STALLED. AS SOON AS IT COOLED IT RESTARTED. I RESOLVED THE ISSUE BY COVERING THE PCM WITH A HEAT DEFLECTING INSULATION WRAP AND BY ALSO RUNNING AN AIR DUCT FROM THE GRILL DIRECTLY TO THE PCM. THE PROBLEM COULD BE SOLVED BY CREATING SOME ELECTRICAL PIGTAILS THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO RELOCATE THE PCM TO THE LEFT FENDER AWAY FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE RADIATOR FAN HEAT. *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP. WE REPLACED THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTICS POINT TO THE PCM MODULE. THERE ARE 94 OTHER COMPLAINS AT THE FOLLOWING SITE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/1999/ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE_SHUTS_DOWN_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE NOW. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, AT 55 ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD BE A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION. PLEASE DO THE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, JUST FROM THE BRIEF AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE RESEARCHED I HAVE FOUND AN ABUNDANCE OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

SAME PROBLEM AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, 1999 DURANGO SHUTS OFF, HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH NOW. NO PARTICULAR RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, AS IT WILL DO IT WHILE SITTING STILL OR GOING 55 MPH. GETTING THE NO BUS READING IN ODOMETER, USUALLY RESTARTS WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. I CAN NOT LET MY WIFE OR TEENAGE SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY CABLES,DISCONNECTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS GOING INTO ECM AND CLEANED, AND MADE SURE SAME CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT. WILL PROBABLY END UP REPLACING ECM, BUT NOT TOO CONFIDENT ABOUT THE OUTCOME. NOW THAT WINTER IS COMING, THIS MAY GET SCARY !!! *TR

99 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.9L ENGINE. AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR IN FEB. 2008, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT JUST SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING WAS GIVEN. THIS STARTED HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY WHILE I DROVE IT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED IN BY THE MAN WHO I WAS BUYING IT FROM TO GO TO THE MECHANICS. THEY TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIND THE ISSUE. FINALLY AFTER DEALING WITH NOT HAVING THE CAR ON & OFF FOR THREE MONTHS, I FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS GOT THE SAME ERROR CODE I DID IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW WHICH SAID, "NO BUS." IT WAS THEN TOWED AGAIN, AND I WROTE THE MECHANIC A NOTE TELLING THEM THAT I FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS. THEIR CAR SHUT DOWN AT ANY MOMENT. THE LAST TIME MY CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME WAS WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING...

DURANGO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE SHUT OFF ON FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. COULD NOT TURN AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES. ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS THE BRAKES. SHUT OFF AT LEAST 4 OR 5 OTHER TIMES IN PARKING LOTS, USUALLY AFTER INITIAL START. SOMETIMES STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SOMETIMES TOOK UP TO 30 MINUTES TO START AGAIN. BATTERY HAD GOOD CHARGE. NO DELAY TO START, JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WE DO NOT DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY ANYMORE FOR FEAR IT WILL SHUT OFF AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TIMING FOR THE FAILURE IS UNPREDICTABLE. HUSBAND TRIED TO REPLAY THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND MAKE IT SHUT OFF, DIDN'T SHUT OFF. BLINKERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. HAVE NOT TRIED REPAIRING IT YET.

THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO '0" - THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON', THE 'FUEL PUMP' LIGHT CAME ON (LIKE IT DOES WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF GAS), THEN I HAD THIS ODD MESSAGE ON THE ODOMETER THAT SAID "NO BUS". THIS TIME I HAD IT TOWED TO PEP BOYS W/O TRYING TO CRANK IT WITH THE HOPES THEY CAN GET A CODE. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE "NO BUS" MESSAGE BUT THEY DID NOT SEEM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I PURCHASED THE 1999 DODGE DURANGO 2/8/09. THE TRUCK RAN GOOD FOR ONE WEEK. THEN IT WOULD JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING AND A "NO BUS ERROR" WOULD FLASH ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE TRUCK WOULD START BACK UP. BUT THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT HAS BEEN STALLING EVERY WEEK SINCE MAY 12, 2009. IT QUIT 8/11/09 AND IT WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WHERE TO GO. IT TOOK ONE HOUR AND 15 MINUTES FOR THE TRUCK TO START BACK UP. DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE.
