ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
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 FIXED? DO A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET. COMPLAINT ARE EVERYWHERE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
I HAVE E A 1999 5.9 LITER 4X4 DODGE DURANGO. THIS SPRING IT BEGAN TO JUST STALL OUT INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT CRANK FOR SOMETIME 30 MINUTES BUT THEN SUDDENLY START AND RUN FINE UNTIL IT STALLS AGAIN. IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. IT IS JULY 25TH AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ALL SUMMER WITH NO CODES BEING FOUND. I HAVE HAD IT IN 4 SHOPS NOW THE THIRD BEING THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE SAID AND WANTED A TON OF MONEY TO FIX AND I TOOK IT FOR SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THE DEALER WAS WRONG. AS IT IS I HAVE ABOUT $1000.00 IN PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED TRYING TO FIX THIS AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE PCM. I AM AT MY WITTS END BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE MY CAR AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN I DO HAVE IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT STALLS IT JUST SUDDENLY DIES AND YOU LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKE POWER. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND TONS OF THE SAME TROUBLES WITH OTHER PEOPLE. I THINK A RECALL IS NEEDED BECAUSE DODGE MUST KNOW OF THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERS ALL WANT DIFFERENT PRICES TO CHANGE THE PCM AND WHEN YOU CALL LOOKING FOR THEM AROUND THE COUNTRY SUPPLIERS SAY THEY CAN NOT KEEP THEM IN STOCK FOR THE DODGES. PLEASE HELP!! *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE DURANGO SLT FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE AND HAS NO HISTORY OF PROBLEMS. WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF HAVING THIS VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS WOULD BE AT 65 MPH OR STOPPED. IF YOU WAIT 5-20 MIN IT WILL RESTART. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR LOOKED AT AND HAVE REPLACED THE CRANK SENSOR TO NO AVAIL. WHILE DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AND MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING IT AS WELL. THE MECHANICS GET NO CODE FROM THE STALL AND NO ONE CAN PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. WE ARE FRUSTRATED AND PRETTY UNHAPPY TO FIND OUT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS EVERYTHING LOCKS UP WHEN IT STALLS. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
IF YOUR DODGE DURANGO SHUTS DOWN FOR NO REAL REASON IT IS YOUR PCM, DON'T LET THE DEALER TELL YOU DIFFERENT. THIS IS COVERED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 OR AT LEAST IT WAS FOR ME, AND THE DEALER DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE IT, HE HAD ME REPLACE THE ECM AND IT DID NOTHING FOR THE PROBLEM, SO I DEMANDED THEY REPLACE THE PCM, I DID MY OWN RESEARCH ON DODGE FORUM. THEY DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE PCM FIRST BECAUSE IT COSTS THEM NOT YOU, LIKE IT SHOULD COST THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE A FAULTY PCM PROBLEM THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT TO......GOOD LUCK BUT KEEP FIGHTING TO THE PCM. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE FROM ME MY EMAIL IS [email protected] *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TIRE WEAR WAS ABNORMAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION, THE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS WERE LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. THE INNER TIE RODS ALSO HAD TO BE CHANGED DUE TO THE LOOSE BALL JOINTS. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS, EVEN WITH MY MILITARY DISCOUNT WAS $950. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 65298 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP. LUCKILY I NOTICED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE BALL JOINTS SEPARATED AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM PUT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN HARMS WAY. 1999 DURANGOS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE RECALL ON BALL JOINTS. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID # 04V596000 REGARDING THE UPPER BALL JOINTS. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I RECENTLY PUT NEW TIRES ON MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO, THEN I WENT TO HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE THE BALL JOINTS ARE BAD. I NOTICE THERE IS A RECALL ON 2000-2003 DURANGOS,YET I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR AND MY CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON ALL DODGE DURANGOS AS IT IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN THE CHRYSLER CORP. REALIZES. PLEASE DO SOME THING TO FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY. *JB
