TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HE STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT WITH VERY LIMITED POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS RESISTANT TO ACCELERATION YET THE ENGINE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN RPMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT. THE BRAKE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

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

SAME AS ALL THE OTHERS, MY DODGE DURANGO GETS HOT THEN SHUTS DOWN. AS IT STALLS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE DIGITAL ODOMETER IT WILL READ "NO BUS" AND THE DIGITAL THERMOSTAT READS 141 DEGREES. AFTER SITTING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 AND 30 MINUTES IT RESTARTS AND RUNS FINE FOR A WHILE BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND IT WAS THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE'S A COMPANY OUT IN FLORIDA THAT WILL SEND YOU A REMANUFACTURED ONE FOR ABOUT $500 AND IT'S 4 BOLTS TO CHANGE OUT. COME ON DODGE, WHY CAN'T YOU FIX THIS MESS????? *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO. STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON! LOOK AT SOME OF THESE WEBSITES.... HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/1999/ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE_SHUTS_DOWN_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML 120 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!! *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DAY WHEN WE HAD A HEAT WAVE, OUR 1999 DODGE DURANGO DECIDED TO JUST STALL OUT WHEN HE WAS IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED HIM TO GET REAR ENDED AND ANOTHER TIME FOR AN ACCIDENT TO ALMOST OCCUR. THIS HAPPENED WITH NO NOTICE AT ALL. THEN, THREE OTHER TIMES IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AFTER PICKING OUR KIDS UP JUST TRYING TO GET HOME. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND DODGE SAYS ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM. THE MORE I READ, THE MORE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY DODGE, NOT ALL OF THE OWNERS THAT ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE! *TR
