I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES A HOUR ON MONTAUK HIGHWAY IN NY, VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF, NO CODES OR LIGHTS, AND THEN AFTER PULLING OVER, AND ALMOST GETTING KILLED, LOSING ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING. IT THEN SHOWS NO BUS ERROR ON DASH, AFTER IT COOLS DOWN, IT RESTARTS. IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT WAS THE PCM. APPARENTLY, THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF DURANGO'S, RAMS, AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH. THIS IS A SUPER UNSAFE PROBLEM, AND I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THERE ARE THOUSANDS BEING REPLACED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SUPER DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR AND EVERYTHING ON THE SYSTEM STOPPED. THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING, THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. IT TENDS TO HAPPEN ON BUMPY ROADS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO DURING THE PAST YEAR. I THINK IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE IGNITION PROBLEM AFFECTING OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THE DURANGO WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT RECALL, BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY TRUCK. *TR
