    1999 dodge durango. Start out with going down the road and it would just stall out. Would have to wait for a while then it would restart. I replaced the cam sensor, crank sensor, throttle position sensor, transmission sensor computer. Drove for 6 months then it started having the rpms to fluctuate and would not stay running. Put another computer in and checked sensors. It keeps throwing a code that computer is bad…

    Just bought this vehicle, the abs and brake light is on, contacted seller and he stated it was not on when he sold it to me. I took to auto zone for them to run the needed scan on it. It showed rear wheel sensor. So, i took it to my mechanic. He then ran 3 different code scans on it and it came up with nothing. So, unfortunately he can't fix it without a code. Unless i want to thro more money into it just to start…

    1999 dodge durango pcm/ecu will fail when it gets hot, giving a no bus, and causing the engine to stall and lose power steering and brakes. This has happened to my vehicle on numerous occasions at highway speed where i was barely able to control the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue. I have had the pcm/ecu replaced over 5 times, which is extremely dangerous. Experts have pin pointed the issues to certain chips…

    I am my daughter were doing 35 miles per hour on a city street. When we approached a stop light the 99 durango just died. Tried to start it again on it wouldn't turn over. Had to call a tow truck to get off of one of the busiest streets in our town, and blocked traffic for a long time. Ever since i bought the vehicle on may 5th, 2015, i can only drive it about 30 minutes and it will just die where ever i may be. I…

    I was driving on the highway at about 55 miles per hour when all of a sudden my vehicle just shut down. No steering or brakes. After waiting about 15 minutes it fires right back up. This has happened numerous times since then when temperatures outside get above 78 degrees. Today it stalled as i was waiting to turn left at a very busy intersection and had to be pushed while cars are still trying to pass and go around…

    I was driving down the road, and the vehicle just shutdown. I check my gauges, and noticed that a "no bus" code was showing, and that the fuel tank indicated there was no fuel. Another driver behind me assisted me in pushing the vehicle out of the road, because the vehicle would not restart. After sitting there for 20 -30 minutes, trying to restart the vehicle, it finally started. The fuel gauge showed almost a full…

    I just had $3000 in transmission work done on my 99 dodge durango. Now you don't need to depress brake to shift from park to reverse or drive. I have owned this car nearly 4 years and never noticed this before so i assume something was disconnected during repair. When we call repair shop they say brake shift interlock was not a feature on 99 durango. I feel this is a huge safety issue that needs to be addressed. It…

    Please invesitgate the oil pumps on the 1999 dodge durango. Ours has gone out 2 times over the past 2 1/2 months. The dealer is trying to blame this on sludge in the engine from not changing the oil, but that is not true. We do have our oil changed. They also tried to state that we were really low on oil. My husband had just put a quart of oil in the engine the day before. I went to carsurvey.com and found several…

    One day after purchase, rear axle went bad. 3 days after purchase, oil gauge started acting up, we had it checked with 2 different garages, both said this vehicle shows signs of abuse and neglect in the engine, crankshaft is scored and engine contaminated. It needs to be replaced. One estimate is of 5,500 and the other is $3,500. Dealer says "tough luck" how is this fair? *ak
