Engine And Engine Cooling
I am the owner of a 99 dodge durango slt since 12/31/98. About 14 months ago it started dying on me without any apparent reason. I have had it serviced 7 times at 2 different dealerships. All with the same result, temporarily fixed. The last 2 times being the worst. Each from a different dealership. I have been driving on the freeway at 70 mph and had it die. This shuts all power steering and braking down. Luckily,…

I purchased a 1999 dodge durango from a private dealer last year. Not long after the purchase, while driving the vehicle down the road at about 50 mph, the engine shut off...barely any brakes, unable to steer. This happened several times after that, eventually leading to me not driving it anymore. While researching what was wrong with the vehicle, i came across many other people with the same problem, same make,…

Control Module (Tcm, Pcm) · Engine And Engine Cooling
Car stalls, idles erratically and stalls when falls below 500 rpms. A/c blows hot air when idles falls below 1000 rpms. This has been happening for months, no rhyme or reason, no codes. Sometimes so bad that car stalls as soon as you let off of the accelerator to go around a curve. When will a recall be issued? There is obviously a problem. Dodge needs to step up to the plate. Does someone have to die before its…

We have had this car looked at and have replaced the crank sensor to no avail. While doing an internet search it appears this…

I purchased a 1999 durango in jan of 2000. I have had numerous problems including rebuilding the transmission. My biggest complaint is the engine sludge and spark knock. I have had the oil pump and screen replaced twice as well as the upper intake gaskets. It is my understanding that the upper intake gaskets leak internally causing oil consumption, spark knock, and eventually oil sludge and engine failure. Chrysler…

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…
