1999 dodge durango constantly stalling out. My wife was stuck sideways in the middle of a busy intersection today after pulling out and the vehicle died during acceleration. Has happened a number of times and apparently is happening to a lot of the same year durangos. Simply go to carcomplaints.com and review the number of similar incidents. There is little to no warning. We have seen a difference in the frequency…

My 1999 dodge durango just stops running but usually starts back up again. My wife usually drives this car with our 3 children and presents a very dangerous problem if it stops running at the wrong time. There are many complaints on the internet about the same problem with this model. I feel that dodge needs to investigate this problem and find a solution for its customers. *tr

1999 durango stalls randomly without warning. Recently while traveling on the highway with my wife and two kids it stalled at 60 mph on route 15 in connecticut. It was everything i could do to keep the truck on the road and get it restarted. The results could have been catastrophic. I will no longer let my family ride with me in the vehicle. I have done some searches on-line and am shocked to see hundreds of post…

This truck should be recalled!! Deaths will occur with this and probably already have. Will start researching that with insurance companies! The durango shuts down without warning. You have no control of the vehicle when this happens. The oil pressure drops to 0 and the truck then attempts to stall or does stall. If the truck cools or you bet cool air on the pcm, then the oil gauge jumps back up to 40 and the truck…

My wife has a 99 durango 5.9l 4x4 with 175,000 miles. About three weeks ago immediately after a standard tune-up the vehicle began reading multiple misfires and a "p1391" error code. I recheck everything and use the scanner to reset all of the trouble codes on the truck. Next thing you know - everything is running fine and there weren't any error codes registering. Next day my wife drives the truck and calls me…

The car cuts off while it is driving at various speeds, including highway speeds and with no warning at all. After a few minutes it will usually start back up. There were no injuries but if it was to cut off while driving and going around a corner it could easily run off the road or into oncoming traffic. I have read about lots of other drivers or this same type of vehicle having the same exact problem. *tr

Intake plenum gasket failed. Over a 1 month time and only 60k in mileage. Oil is sucked out of the engine like a straw. I see dodge has a service bulletin about the issue but this really is a defect since it has happened to a whole hell of alot of people. Next is these crappy balljoints. I had one fail 2 jears ago with only 49k in mileage. I went to the dealership to find that they only have a recall on 2001-2003…

During all driving conditions during the last 6 years and while being driven on the road my 1999 dodge durango periodically shuts down. The engine, power steering, and power breaks fail and the vehicle exhibits a "no bus" in its odometer. After stalling this way it will restart after 10 minutes to an hour. The shutting down at freeway speeds is dangerous; however, after repeatedly taking the vehicle to different…

Here is a copy of my complaint that i emailed directly to dodge: i have done alot of research and have found that the dealers do not know how to fix this problem and there are numerous web sites with fellow 1999 dodge durango owners who are experiencing the same problem and we are looking for your recall to permanently correct the matter. Your dealers have not been able to correct the problem at any price. When the…

I was driving on the expressway and my dodge durango began to stall. I put on my hazard lights immediately. Cars began to swerve to avoid me. I tried to pull off to the shoulder of the road but the engine cut off and then the brakes would not work until i tried to restart the car in neutral. I could not restart the car for 20 minutes. When the car did start i proceeded home. The car stalled three more times on the…

I am a 99 durango 5.9 owner, experiencing the same problems with the stalling/no bus signal. So far we have replaced the crank sensor, the engine auto-shutdown relay and the front oxygen sensor with out any success. Spoken to two dealers, they play stupid, bring it in next week and we may have time to look at it. (nice customer service). After about 20 miles or the temp gauge reaches 210 degrees it dies. If i sit…

Car stalls. My car stalls while i am driving or at a stop light, just idling. It has stalled on the freeway, which is very dangerous. Before the car stalls the battery voltage sensor and the fuel level indicator goes all the way down. Then the odometer starts blinking and saying "no bus". The autoshops i have been to do not know what "no bus" means. I have to turn the ignition off and on several times before the…
