Truck shuts off and looses all power when the computer gets too hot. Either driving 70 mph on freeway or just idling very unsafe when you loose all power and cant stop or steer. Truck will not start till the ecm cools off then will happen 10 minutes down the road again. *tr

I have a 1999 dodge durango and as almost everyone else my pcm failed and the second one is failing now just one year later! Dodge dealers here all knew about the problem so one would assume dodge knows. The placement of the pcm on the passenger front fender gathers exes heat off the manifold which causes it to fail. This problem not only cost way to much to repair, it is a dangerous situation, while driving when…

My 1999 dodge durango turns off anytime the temperature gets above 85f. This happens in stop and go traffic and even driving at 70 mph. When this happens you loose all control of the car. I have replaced the pcm but it still keeps happening. One day someone will rear end me and my children. *tr

The dodge durango 1999, stalls completely with no warning or reason. After a brief period of time (5 minutes) it runs again. There is no apparent problem when scanned or is serviced. The imminent danger is that when it stalls everything locks and if you are driving on a highway it is potential risk to the driver and the passengers. *tr

Engine cuts off when cpu gets hot, you can wait a few minutes & engine will start & other times not. A lot of people online have had this same problem. Most of them have to get a new cpu, but looks like the problem will come back. The computer gets very very hot where it is located under the hood. *tr

Same problem as hundreds of others, 1999 durango shuts off, has been doing it for about 1 month now. No particular rhyme or reason as to when it is going to happen, as it will do it while sitting still or going 55 mph. Getting the no bus reading in odometer, usually restarts within several minutes. I can not let my wife or teenage son drive this vehicle. Have replaced battery cables,disconnected electrical…

I purchased the 1999 dodge durango 2/8/09. The truck ran good for one week. Then it would just stall with no warning and a "no bus error" would flash on the odometer. After about 20 minutes the truck would start back up. But that is unacceptable. It has been stalling every week since may 12, 2009. It quit 8/11/09 and it was stuck in traffic with no where to go. It took one hour and 15 minutes for the truck to start…

1999 dodge durango shuts down, electronically, while driving in warm/hot weather. This is directly related to the pcm and/or it's location. Very dangerous, even life threatening if on the freeway. Dodge does not recognize the problem, or safety issue, so forums and consumers are left to resolve this very huge problem. Only seems to exist on dodge durango's with the years 1999 and 2000. Problem can be resolved, for…

I own a dodge durango that is the worst vehicle i have ever purchased. It suffers from "shut off when it wants to syndrome" and the company won't even acknowledge that the problem exists even though it is the number one complaint about this particular model on the internet durango sites. To make matters worse they don't even know what causes it to do that therefore making repairing the vehicle impossible. It is…
