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

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO HAS A LEAKING GAS LINE HOSE THAT GOES TO THE FUEL TANK. THE COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT I CHECKED WITH 2 DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH TOLD ME THAT THE HOSES WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND NOT MADE ANYMORE. THE ONE THAT IS LEAKING IS THE FILLER HOSE THAT IS 14" LONG AND HAS A 1" I.D. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING AND IS GETTING GOUGED UP AND NOW HAS A HOLE IN IT. I HAVE CHECK WITH AUTO PARTS PLACES AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON GAS LINE FILLER HOSE. I KNOW THE VEHICLE IS OVER 7 YRS OLD, BUT ONLY HAVE 76500 MILES ON IT. I ASK ONE DEALERSHIP WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO, JUNK MY VEHICLE, AND HE SAID YES THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA. PLEASE HELP. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND ANY OTHER RECALLS. THIS SUV WAS BOUGHT BY MY SON, NEW IN 1999, AND I PURCHASED IT FROM HIM IN 12/2004 WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT. *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, MAINLY 1999 FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. PCM REPLACED, NO PROBLEMS WITH STALLING SINCE. *TR

ABS LIGHT & BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, WHEN LIGHTS WERE ON BRAKES WERE TOUCHY. AND FORGET TRYING TO SLOW OR STOP WHEN IT'S RAINING. FRONT DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, AND BUSHINGS REPLACED. UPPER AND LOWER A-ARM BUSHINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO NOISE IN FRONT END. DODGE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THIS NOISE OR ANY PROBLEM WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THEM. AFTER TWO DAYS OF IT SITTING AT THE DEALER WE MYSTERIOUSLY HAD A BADLY LEAKING WATER PUMP. WHEN WE DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THE DEALER COMPLETE THE REPAIR THEY MADE US PAY THEM A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $78.00! TWO SETS OF BRAND NEW BRAKES SQUEAKED ANNOYINGLY AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS AT LUBRICATION AND CLEANING, ROTORS NOW NEED REPLACING. REAR PASSENGER, & FRONT DRIVER POWER WINDOW MOTORS REPLACED, TWICE FOR THE REAR ONE. BAD BRAKES & BAD SUSPENSION DID NOT MIX WELL WHEN YOU'RE A MOTHER OF FOUR VERY ACTIVE KIDS. SOMETIMES I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE . THE COST HAS BECOME RIDICULOUS AND AT TIMES UNREASONABLE. *AK

DURANGO WAS PARKED AT A BUSINESS LOT WHEN MY MOTHER TRIED TO START IT THE GAS GAUGE DIDN'T REGISTER, SO SHE CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME AND SEE IF HE COULD GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. HE COULDN'T GET IT STARTED AFTER ABOUT HALF AND HOUR OF TRYING SO HE CALLED A FRIEND TO TOW IT HOME. I WENT WITH THEM TO TOW IT AND TREAD BEFORE WE HOOKED IT UP TO START THE DURANGO. THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED. I DROVE IT ABOUT THREE BLOCKS BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT STARTED BACK UP AND I DROVE ABOUT HALF A BLOCK BEFORE THE DURANGO SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MANAGE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THIS TIME, BUT I WAS STILL IN THE LANE THE VEHICLES WERE DRIVING IN WITH A VEHICLE THAT WOULDN'T START. ONCE AGAIN THE GAS GAUGE WOULDN'T REGISTER AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. A POLICE OFFICE STOPPED BY TO CHECK ON ME AND TO INFORM ME THAT WHERE MY VEHICLE HAD BROKEN DOWN IN A VERY BAD PLACE. WE THEN TOWED THE VEHICLE HOME. AFTER ARIVING HOME WE CHECKED THE DURANGO AND IT STARTED FOR ABOUT 3 MIN. AFTER WHITCH IT DIED AGAIN, IT RESTARTED RIGHT AFTER IT DIED BUT ONLY TO SHUT OFF WIHT IN ANOTHER MINUTE OR SO. THIS IS THE VEHICLE I USE TO TAKE MY CHILD PLACES, AND OTHER CHILDREN ALSO, I AM ONLY GLAD THAT MY MOTHER HAD BARROWED THE CAR FOR THE DAY AND I WASNT STUCK WITH MY SON IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE TURNED IN TO A DEATH TRAP HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY. WE JUST PUT ON A NEW STARTD LAST WEEK AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS, OTHER THAN THE HEATER NOT WORKING. *AK

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WITH 73,000 MILES. WE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND OTHER MAJOR REPAIRS DONE TO IT LAST YEAR. SINCE THEN IT HAS GIVEN US NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. THIS CAR IS OUR FAMILY CAR SO WE TRAVEL EVERYWHERE WITH THE KIDS IN THE BACK. IT HAS STALLED AND DIED ON US OFTEN. AT TIMES ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND OTHER TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. THE POWER STEERING GOES AND SO DO THE BRAKES. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR IN AVOIDING ACCIDENTS. THE MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT SO NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. THE FUEL LINES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND REPLACED AND SO HAS THE FUEL PUMP AND THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES. *JB
