While on the interstate at 65 mph, my vehicle suddenly stalled and went dead. It had no oil pressure left. My vehicle barely made it to the side of the road. It had to be pushed out of the way! It was towed home. *tr

For the past 8 months my 2000 dodge durango will just shut off while i am driving. I have replaced the jump start, the coil, belts, air condition, pulleys, spark plugs. It has had a complete tune up and been to the mechanic at least 5 times. Nothing shows up on the codes, it will only show the word nobus in the odometer and it takes from 10 minutes to one hour before it will restart. This has become very dangerous…

Since this occurred without warning, i did not have time to pull over to the side of the road. I turned on the caution blinkers. There were…

I have a 2000 dodge durango 5.9l v8. When it is hot outside (over 90*), the suv will shut off. I live in florida where it's hot almost all year. I would be driving on the highway and it would just shut off. I am afraid that a semi would hit me from behind. Please do something before someone dies. Please. *tr
