Approximately 20 times. Always in the heat of the day, a/c on or idling for long periods of time like a drive thru or city traffic. Temporary fix is to purchase extra relays and exchange cool relays with hot ones. *jb

We have a 1999 dodge durango with problems for the past 8 months of all gauges going dead. We have had it to the dealership several times with mis-diagnosis at our expense totaling $730.00 with no results. The dealership asked us to bring it back for them to do more repairs. Obviously they cannot diagnose the problem correctly.*jb updated 01/11/08. *lj updated 12/12/07 *tr

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,…

My 1999 dodge durango stalled on the highway for the fifth time today. After the first two stalls i took it to a garage. They told me they could not get a code off of the computer and it could be one of three things, the security cutoff, the ecm or the fuel pump. They replaced the security cutoff and gave me troubleshooting steps for the next time. Unfortunately, those steps include listening for the fuel pump,…

In january of 05 had to have both upper and lower ball joints replaced, control arm, front brakes and new tires as a result of bad f/e suspension. Now today the speed sensor (and i am hoping that's it) has gone out on the transmission. I have had two window motor failures, a sudden drop in oil pressure causing the truck to stall and there is something wrong with the electrical system. There have been many complaints…

I worry about being trapped inside the car or having the…

Pcm is located on the right fender well. The radiator fan also blows onto the right fender. The extreme heat causes the printed circuit board inside the pcm to warp when it gets hot and causes the engine too stall. Once the printed circuit board cools and flatten outs it runs fine until it gets so hot that it warps again. I was able to duplicate this problem by using a blow dryer on the pcm. When it got hot the…
