1999 Dodge Durango Electrical Problems

PHANTOM MISFIRE CAN DROP ENGINE RPM AND STALL. EVERY POSSIBLE SENSOR REPLACED. FUEL PUMP, INJECTORS REPLACED. ENTIRE IGNITION SYSTEM REPLACED. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WHILE THE PHANTOM MISFIRE HAPPENS A PROFESSIONAL CODE READER SHOWS NO MISFIRE AND NO HISTORY OF EVENTS. CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME, ANY SPEED. AT SLOWER SPEED THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKE HYDRAULICS. CONDITION HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER FIVE YEARS AND I'M INTO THIS DEMON FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GOES BEYOND 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, WHILE IN MOTION, THE COMPUTER HAS SHUT OFF THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES AND A CODE SAYING NO BUS IS DISPLAYED IN THE DASH FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME GOING 70 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED GOING 45 MPH AND AS LOW AS 20 MPH. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PULL OVER AND LET THE COMPUTER COOL OFF AND IT TURNS ON AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF AND BRAKES BECOME VERY HARD. I HAVE A GREAT CAR IN THE WINTER. IN THE SUMMER IT'S A DEATH TRAP THAT CAN SHUT OFF ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. CHECK YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE FOR "DODGE DURANGO NO BUS" AND YOU WILL FIND THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER.

1999 DODGE DURANGO PCM/ECU WILL FAIL WHEN IT GETS HOT, GIVING A NO BUS, AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHERE I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE PCM/ECU REPLACED OVER 5 TIMES, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. EXPERTS HAVE PIN POINTED THE ISSUES TO CERTAIN CHIPS COMING UNSOLDERED IN THE PCM/ECU DUE TO HEAT. KEENAN LAWS HAS YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUES ARE, AS WELL AS MANY OTHER HAVE DONE. DODGE CONTRACT'S OUT THE SOLDERING OF THESE CHIPS, BUT THEY DON'T DO A GOOD JOB AS SOME DON'T WORK AT ALL. FOR EXAMPLE, WE PUT THREE IN BEFORE WE GOT ONE THAT WORKED. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE AND PUTS PEOPLE LIVES AT VERY HIGH RISK. I PAID AROUND $800 TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN SANTA ROSA CALIFORNIA FOR A PCM/ECU THAT LASTED ONLY MONTHS. IT TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE DURANGO WITH NO POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. DODGE HASN'T BEEN A HELP OR THE PCM/ECU REBUILDERS. CURRENTLY I'M WAITING ON ANOTHER REBUILT PCM/ECU, WHICH THE REBUILDER CAN'T EVEN GIVE A TIME WHEN I COULD GET ONE. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST CURRENT INCIDENT, BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE ABOUT 2009 AND APPROXIMATELY 170,000 MILES.

I DROVE TO TOWN, STOPPED AND TURNED OFF MY ENGINE FOR AN 30 MINUTE WAIT WITH CONSTRUCTION. IT STARTED AND I DROVE TO VISIT MY SON. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE, STAYED A BIT TO VISIT, WENT TO GO HOME AND IT WOULDN'T START. FINALLY GOT IT TO START AND DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT. DROVE TO TOWN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND IT DIED WHILE DRIVING, BARELY MADE IT TO TOWN. LOOKED FOR INFORMATION ON THE NET ONLY TO FIND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE (OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY) TO DIE? IS THAT REALLY WHAT IT TAKES, A LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE ANYTHING WILL BE DONE? I'VE READ THAT IT COULD BE THE PCM, THE PCM WIRING HARNESS, OR A COMPUTER CHIP/SENSOR/RELAY SOMETHING OR OTHER UNDER THE AIR CLEANER. NO REAL, PERMANENT, FIX AT THIS POINT, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER HELPING? CHRYSLER DOESN'T BACK THEIR PRODUCT? NO WONDER AMERICAN PEOPLE OPT FOR IMPORTS, THEY ARE RELIABLE AND BUILT TO LAST. HOW ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING CHRYSLER AND STEP UP! *TR

ENGINE SHUTDOWN, OUT OF THE BLUE. NOBUS APPEARED ON ODOMETER. ALL GAUGES WERE ON 0, BUT ALL OTHER ELECTRONICS WORKED. STARTER WOULD CRANK, BUT IGNITION WOULD NOT IGNITE. I'M NOT SURE IF FUEL PUMP WENT ON OR NOT. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BACK UP FOR APX 20 MINUTES. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THEN TWICE IN ONE DAY. THE QUICKEST, BUT TEMPORARY, SOLUTION IS TO COOL DOWN PCM. AN ICE PACK WORKS GREAT! BUT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS CONVENIENT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, PROBLEM IS WORSE ON HOT DAYS. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, YOU NEED TO REPLACE PCM BECAUSE SOLDER JOINTS ARE BROKEN WITHIN. WHEN UNIT COOLS, METAL CONTRACTS, AND CONTACT IS MADE AGAIN, AND TRUCK WILL START. BUT KEEP IN MIND-THE SOLDER JOINTS ARE STILL BROKEN. WHEN UNIT HEATS BACK UP, METAL WILL EXPAND, AND CONNECTION WILL BE LOST AGAIN, CAUSING ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND NO BUS TO ELECTRICAL IGNITION SYSTEM. THE VERY FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HAD GONE OVER A BUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT INITIALLY "BROKE" THE SOLDER JOINT. A NEW PCM CAN RUN $400. ONE FROM A JUNK YARD COULD WORK, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS THE RISK THAT, IT TOO, HAS THE SAME PROBLEM-MAYBE THAT'S WHY THE TRUCK IS IN THE JUNKYARD TO BEGIN WITH! AND IF IT WAS IN FRONT END COLLISION, GOOD CHANCE IT WON'T BE ANY GOOD EITHER! I'VE OWNED MY DURANGO FOR 13 YEARS, AND IT HAS NEVER REALLY LEFT ME STRANDED. BUT NOW THAT IT HAS THIS PROBLEM, COMBINED WITH BAD DESIGN OF FRONT HUB ASSY, VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE AND IT'S TIME TO RETIRE IT - EVEN THOUGH MOTOR STILL RUNS STRONG. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM JUST SHUTS THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOWN "WHILE I'M DRIVING", AT ANY SPEED...DOESN'T MATTER THE TEMPERATURE, IT HAPPENS ON ANY DAY, AND AT RANDOM. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, BRAKES AND STEERING BECOME UNUSABLE. JUST MISSED REAR ENDING A VEHICLE THE OTHER DAY WHICH GOT ME TO HAVE TO WRITE THIS. I HAVE TO REMOVE ELECTRICAL TERMINAL FROM POST FOR 30 SECONDS, PUT BACK ON TERMINAL POST, THEN HOPEFULLY IT STARTS. I CANT EVEN DRIVE MY FAMILY ANYMORE DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD.IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THIRTY TIMES NOW. LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHATS THE MATTER, YET HUNDREDS OF OWNERS ONLINE POSTINGS PROVE WHAT I AM SAYING. PLEASE RESOLVE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE, PERHAPS MYSELF, DIES..... *TT

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO AND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 60 MPH, OUT OF NOWHERE THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN AND A SEMI TRUCK WAS AN INCH FROM STRIKING MY VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. THE SEMI LEFT SKID MARKS THAT WHERE 25 FEET LONG. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND THE IGNITION COIL AND STILL NO FIX. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I HAVE TO GET TO WORK EVERYDAY, I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I CANT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR. I FEEL THAT MY LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES SUCH AS THIS ONE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A SOLUTION IS FOUND? *TR

HAMPTON, VA. THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, AND THE TRUCK JUST TURNED OFF. I LOST THE POWER STEERING & BRAKES. I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE, I WAS GOING UNDER 25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER ME AND THE KIDS PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF THE STREET, I LET THE TRUCK COOL OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THEN IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. BY MY UNDERSTANDING FROM BLOGS AND THE DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
