1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM A FAMILY VACATION, MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO LOST COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF TRYING TO START THE CAR IT STARTED UP. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. AGAIN, AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE LAST 20 MILES TO GET HOME. AFTER UNLOADING THE CAR, I TRIED TO START THE CAR WITH NO LUCK. I NOTICED THE ODOMETER DISPLAY READ " NO BUS ". I TOLD THIS TO THE MECHANIC AND HE THOUGHT THE CRANK SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM. IT STILL SHUTS DOWN AFTER THE REPAIR. THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AND I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND THE REPAIR SOLUTION. I THINK IT IS THE COMPUTER. IT GETS TOO HOT AND SHUTS THE CAR DOWN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE DODGE HASN'T DONE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE NOW. *TR

1999 DURANGO, MY POWER DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT TRACK JUST MESSED UP AND THE SEAT JUST SLIDES BACK AND FORTH FREELY. WHEN I LOOKED FOR A SOLUTION ON THE NET, I NOTICED THAT EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM! IF THE SEAT SLIDES BACK, MY WIFE CAN'T REACH THE BRAKE, IF IT SLIDES FORWARD IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD BE AIRBAG INJURIES. ON AT LEAST 1999 DODGE DURANGOS THE SEAT TRACK MOTOR ASSEMBLY IF DEFECTIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 15-70 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. A CODE THAT READS "NO BUS" APPEARS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

I PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE DURANGO FROM A PRIVATE DEALER LAST YEAR. NOT LONG AFTER THE PURCHASE, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 50 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF...BARELY ANY BRAKES, UNABLE TO STEER. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO ME NOT DRIVING IT ANYMORE. WHILE RESEARCHING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, SAME MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE. MANY WERE REPORTING THEIR "CLOSE CALLS" WITH MVA'S DUE TO THE ENGINE JUST SHUTTING OFF AND THEM LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDE SPREAD AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THAT THUS FAR, DODGE HAS FAILED TO RECALL. I, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS, DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PUT IN TO THE VEHICLE FOR COMPUTER CHANGES AND UNCERTAIN MECHANICAL WORK TO GET OUR VEHICLES IN SAFE OPERATING CONDITION. I BELIEVE IT'S TIME THAT DODGE DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND THE "BRAKES" DOESN'T WORK. WHEN I WAS DRIVING I WOULD HEAR A RUMBLE SOUND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE THE "BRAKES" WOULDN'T WORK OR IT WOULD TAKE A SEC TO KICK IN. I HAVE READ A COUPLE OF CONSUMERS ISSUES WITH THIS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT ALL LEAD BACK TO THE ABS SYSTEM. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL NOT JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN? *TR

1999 DODGE DURANGO - APPROX 80,000 MILES - 1 OWNER. ON HOT DAYS, WHEN OUTSIDE TEMP IS IN MID-80S OR ABOVE, VEHICLE STALLS AND NOBUS LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AS CHYRSLER DEALER FOR REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I'VE FOUND ATLEAST 80 PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT WITH THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. PEOPLE ARE BEGGING FOR A RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYLER TWICE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN-A-ROUND. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO REPORT THE SAME "DANGEROUS" PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. ACCORDING TO OTHERS, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A DEFECTIVE PCM. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE POSTING THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 99 DODGE DURANGO SLT SINCE 12/31/98. ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED DYING ON ME WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED 7 TIMES AT 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT, TEMPORARILY FIXED. THE LAST 2 TIMES BEING THE WORST. EACH FROM A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND HAD IT DIE. THIS SHUTS ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING DOWN. LUCKILY, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID BEING REARENDED OR HIT AS I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I STOPPED DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE TRUCK, IN CASE OF BEING HIT. THE SERVICE DEPTS HAVE: CHECKED CONNECTIONS, REPLACED SPEED SENSOR UNIT, CENTRAL TIMER MODULE, CRANKSHAFT MODULE AND ARE NOW TELLING ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE PCM. HAVE SEEN ON THE WEB THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I LOVE THE TRUCK, BUT IT'S INOPERABLE BY MOST STANDARDS. *TR

INTAKE PLENUM GASKET FAILED. OVER A 1 MONTH TIME AND ONLY 60K IN MILEAGE. OIL IS SUCKED OUT OF THE ENGINE LIKE A STRAW. I SEE DODGE HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT THIS REALLY IS A DEFECT SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED TO A WHOLE HELL OF ALOT OF PEOPLE. NEXT IS THESE CRAPPY BALLJOINTS. I HAD ONE FAIL 2 JEARS AGO WITH ONLY 49K IN MILEAGE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND THAT THEY ONLY HAVE A RECALL ON 2001-2003 WHICH IS ASSANINE SINCE THE SAME CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ARE USED IN THE 1998 AND 1999 MODELS TOO. THE PROPERTY DAMAGE INVOLVED IS THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE FROM A DEFECTIVE GASKET OR ENGINE DESIGN.

MY DODGE DURANGO (1999) STARTED STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES TWO SUMMERS AGO. IT TOOK ME MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND A YELL FEST WITH THE DODGE FIELD REP. BUT I GOT IT FIXED. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, IT IS THE PCM(POWER CONTROL MODULE).....FINALLY CONVINCED THEM THEY DIDN'T WANT A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS IF MY FAMILY WAS KILLED DUE TO THIS MAJOR DEFECT IN DURANGOS, MAINLY 1999 FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. PCM REPLACED, NO PROBLEMS WITH STALLING SINCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. ON APPROXIMATELY 24 OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,088 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
