Vehicle shuts down without warning also losing power steering,brakes etc. May or may not start after 15 minutes or so.

Another time vehicle shut down and had to jump lanes and coast to get to side road to stop. Very, very dangerous situations many times! Havent drove it…

Vehicle dies with no notice, problem is pcm. This is a widely known problem with several years of the dodge products. The pcm fails and the car can lose power while in operation. This is a dangerous situation because the car can lose power while operating on the highway or at any speed! Dodge refuses to acknowledge the problem. A replacement pcm is reported to resolve the problem temporarily. Some complaints…

After sitting for 10 to 30 minutes it will restart and run for an additional distance until shutting off and repeating the same symptoms again.

Warm weather the engine quits. 3 time within two weeks driving 65-70 mph on highway while pulling a boat all 3 times. The problem is the pcm on the passengers side of the engine compartment. Gets to hot and shuts the engine down. No brakes, no steering! This problem is documented in dodge forums thousands of times with everyone quoting the exact same issues with nothing being done nor any fixes that will work. *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…

There was no warning signs leading up to the problem. My 99 dodge durango has shut down on me twice in the past week or so. I have been to many websites and heard from many that this is a common problem with this car. No one really knows what is wrong. I have heard that the ecu is too close to the engine's heat and causes it or the wires to short out especially in the summer heat. One it shuts off it will start…

I own a 99 dodge durango, 5.9 liter, the events to the failure were stalling while driving on freeway, at stop, in intersections, without warning. When attempting to restart, dash cluster would not function, read no bus on odometer, and show i had no fuel on gas gauge. Also when it would stall i would lose brakes and power steering, making it hard to get out of the way of traffic or move to the side of the road. The…

1999 dodge durango - engine stalls during driving, relates to computer overheating. I had the computer replaced but the problem returns. Vehicle very difficult to stop or turn d/t power loss. Last occurred in oncoming traffic lane while turning. Computer returns no codes but odometer displays no bus. Engine compartment is way too hot for this component so i do not expect anything to work except re-routing the wiring…

So took to a mechanic said it was the crank shaft sensor. Replaced.…

Recently i have been having issues with my 1999 dodge durango losing all power. The odometer ready "no bus" and nothing in the truck works, not even the brakes. I did some research online and found out that this is a common problem with the durango. I also found out that it's due to the location of the truck's computer. It is extremely close to the engine and with the increased heat during the summer, the…

1999 dodge durango. Truck has been stalling and dying for over a year now, with no warning. The vehicle will shut down causing you to lose power brake + steering. I've changed all sensors. Plugs, wires etc, and still stalls. No mechanic or dealer can re-create the problem and dodge has no record of this problem being an issue, i'm the first! Ha! *tr
