1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHEN DRIVING MY 99 DODGE DURANGO IT DIES WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE WITHOUT WARNING AND WON'T START FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSSUE!!! NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME. IS THERE A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE?? IF NOT THERE SHOULD BE!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WOULD FAIL SPORADICALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE DIGITAL ODOMETER WOULD READ "NO BUS". THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE ECM WAS DEFECTIVE. THE ECM WAS REPLACED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 155,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I OWN A 1999 DODGE DURANGO IT STARTED STALLING OUT AND STOPPED RUNNING AT RANDOM TIMES. MY WIFE ALMOST GOT REARENDED AAT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT STALLED OUT ON ME ON RAILROAD TRACKS. IF I GET OUT AND WIGGLE THE WIRES TO THE ECM/PCM IT STARTS BACK UP. WHEN IT STALLS OUT OR DIES NOTHING READS ON THE ODOMETER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *KB

DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART AND GO A COUPLE OF MILES AND SHUT OFF AGAIN WITH OUT WARNING. *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO SHUTS DOWN, ELECTRONICALLY, WHILE DRIVING IN WARM/HOT WEATHER. THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PCM AND/OR IT'S LOCATION. VERY DANGEROUS, EVEN LIFE THREATENING IF ON THE FREEWAY. DODGE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM, OR SAFETY ISSUE, SO FORUMS AND CONSUMERS ARE LEFT TO RESOLVE THIS VERY HUGE PROBLEM. ONLY SEEMS TO EXIST ON DODGE DURANGO'S WITH THE YEARS 1999 AND 2000. PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED, FOR FREEWAY USE, WITH MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE; A 3-4 INCH TUBE FROM THE GRILL TO THE PCM. NO FIX, SO FAR, FOR LOCAL USE ON HOT DAYS. *TR

I OWN A DODGE DURANGO THAT IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. IT SUFFERS FROM "SHUT OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO SYNDROME" AND THE COMPANY WON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ON THE INTERNET DURANGO SITES. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT TO DO THAT THEREFORE MAKING REPAIRING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS BASICALLY A DEATH TRAP AS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF SO DOES THE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES!!! THE ODOMETER READS NOBUS. WE HAVE CHANGED SEVERAL THINGS SUCH AS THE PCM ABOUT 6 TIMES, CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, CAM SENSOR, SHUT DOWN RELAY, AND FUEL PUMP RELAY. WE STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS. AS FOR US WE ARE TIRED OF INVESTING MONEY SO THAT THE VEHICLE KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING OF SHUTTING DOWN AND NOT STARTING. THEN HAVING TO GET IT TOWED HOME IS NOT SO CHEAP. IF WE CAN GET A SOLUTION FROM DODGE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. THANK YOU

THE PIN THAT GOES INTO THE SPINDLE ON THE 1999 DODGE DURANGO SEEMS TO HAVE SOME HUGE PROBLEM, WHICH CAN CAUSE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ITS' DRIVERS. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF OWNERS' COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE. WE TOOK OURS LUCKILY IN TO GET A BRAKE JOB BEFORE MY BRAKE FELL OFF AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO WRECK. THE PIN WAS EASILY PULLED OUT AND THE THREADING WAS GONE. NO NEARBY JUNKYARDS HAVE A SPINDLE FOR MY 4X4 1999 DODGE DURANGO, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT AS SOON AS THEY GET THEM IN, SOMEONE COMES TO GET IT. THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM. HOW DOES A PIN FALL OUT. WE WILL HAVE TO GET NEW SPINDLES AND TO BUY THEM FROM THE DEALERSHIP IT IS $600 EACH. ALL BECAUSE A FAULTY PIN. *TR

THE BODY WORK OF THE DODGE DURANGO IS EXTREMELY RUSTY ALL THE WAY AROUND THE VEHICLE. *TR
