ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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 ENGINE STALLED. AS SOON AS IT COOLED IT RESTARTED. I RESOLVED THE ISSUE BY COVERING THE PCM WITH A HEAT DEFLECTING INSULATION WRAP AND BY ALSO RUNNING AN AIR DUCT FROM THE GRILL DIRECTLY TO THE PCM. THE PROBLEM COULD BE SOLVED BY CREATING SOME ELECTRICAL PIGTAILS THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO RELOCATE THE PCM TO THE LEFT FENDER AWAY FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE RADIATOR FAN HEAT. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT, SUSPENSION:REAR
STEERING PROBLEMS RELATED TO LINKAGE AFFECTED BY BRAKE RESIVOIR LEAKAGE ONTO LINKAGE TO THE GEAR BOX. FLUID ATE RUBBER OFF OF THE "JOINTS" THAT LOOK TO BE LIKE THAT OF A "U-JOINT." THE FIRST TIME WAS A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING AN "OVERSTEER" SITUATION AND THE UNDERLYING CONDITION WAS NOT EXPLAINED OR REPAIRED. THE LINKAGE WAS REPLACED. ONE YEAR OR SO LATER THE DURANGO BEGAN TO REPEAT THE ABOVE SITUATION ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR. AGAIN THE LINKAGE WAS REPLACED AND THE MASTER CYLINDER {NOT INCLUDING THE RESIVOIR} WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE DUE TO THE AGE OF MY VEHICLE {OR LACK OF WARRANTY}. THE PROBLEM STILL EXSISTS BECAUSE I HAVE NO JOB TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED LINKAGE X2 AND MASTER CYLINDER FOR THIS SITUATION, ALSO HAD AXEL HUBS {SEALED UNITS} FAIL DUE TO DRY BEARING, BOTH SIDES FRONT. OEM REPLACEMENT PARTS BOTH FAILED DUE TO DRY BEARINGS IN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS. THIS ALSO CAUSED A DANGEROUS CONDITION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WOBBLE AND OVERSTEERING CONDITIONS. PRIOR TO THESE PROBLEMS THE REAR SWAY BAR LINKS HAD DISINTEGRATED AND WERE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE NO OFF ROAD 4X4 ACTION FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED IT. THANK YOU !!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1999 DODGE DURANGO COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP. WE REPLACED THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTICS POINT TO THE PCM MODULE. THERE ARE 94 OTHER COMPLAINS AT THE FOLLOWING SITE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/1999/ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE_SHUTS_DOWN_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE NOW. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, AT 55 ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD BE A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION. PLEASE DO THE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, JUST FROM THE BRIEF AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE RESEARCHED I HAVE FOUND AN ABUNDANCE OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

HAD UNEVEN WEAR AFTER I HAD PUT NEW TIRES ON WITH A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. BOTH FRONT WHEELS ARE WEARING ON THE INSIDE SO I HAD IT EVALUATED BY A DEALERSHIP WHICH I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED NEW BALL JOINTS AND TIE RODS AT A PRICE OF $2,200.00. AFTER HAVING THIS FIXED I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD NEED NEW A ARMS FOR ANOTHER $1,800.00. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN WORTH FIXING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
EARLY GENERATION DODGE DURANGO (98-01) HAS ABS PROBLEMS, CAUSING ABS TO SHUT DOWN, LEAVING THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY LOW. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER RECALLED ON THIS. FIX TO PROBLEM SEEMS TO ONLY BE A COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM REBUILD, WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOT HAVE IT RETURN AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED EVEN THOUGH THESE VEHICLES ARE OLD, THEY ARE NOT SAFE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR THE OWNERS AND EVERYONE SAFETY AROUND THEM. *TR

SAME PROBLEM AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, 1999 DURANGO SHUTS OFF, HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH NOW. NO PARTICULAR RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, AS IT WILL DO IT WHILE SITTING STILL OR GOING 55 MPH. GETTING THE NO BUS READING IN ODOMETER, USUALLY RESTARTS WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES. I CAN NOT LET MY WIFE OR TEENAGE SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. HAVE REPLACED BATTERY CABLES,DISCONNECTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS GOING INTO ECM AND CLEANED, AND MADE SURE SAME CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT. WILL PROBABLY END UP REPLACING ECM, BUT NOT TOO CONFIDENT ABOUT THE OUTCOME. NOW THAT WINTER IS COMING, THIS MAY GET SCARY !!! *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY '99 DODGE DURANGO IS SITTING ON IT'S 3RD SET OF BALL JOINTS, AND I AM TOLD IT NEEDS ANOTHER. I'VE REPEATED BEEN TOLD "YOU'RE LUCKY YOUR WHOLE WHEEL DIDN'T COME OFF WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING". THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I AM TIRED OF FIXING THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER! I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AT VARIOUS SITES FROM OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM! WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE? HOW MANY PEOPLE/FAMILIES/CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS AUTO GIANT IS FORCED TO DO THE ETHICAL AND HONORABLE ACTION OF PROPERLY REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM? I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH IT COSTS THEM; THEY CREATED THE PROBLEM. ALMOST ALL AUTO GIANTS ARE RECEIVING BAIL OUT MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT...MILLION...THEY NEED TO USE SOME OF IT FOR A GOOD PURPOSE. *TR

STEERING
CAR AUTO-STOPPED WHILE CONDUCTING DRIVING LESSON FOR MY 15-YEAR-OLD STEPDAUGHTER. WE WERE TRAVELING 40MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD AT THE TIME. SHE DRIFTED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SAID THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STUCK. I TOLD HER TO APPLY THE BRAKES. SHE SAID SHE WAS AND THEY WEREN'T WORKING EITHER. WE WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND WERE VERY NEARLY T-BONED BY CARS FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS. MY STEPDAUGHTER SENSIBLY DID AS I INSTRUCTED AND PUSHED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BRAKE, MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE PLUNGING INTO THE RIVER IN FRONT OF US. I HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR FOR SIX MONTHS PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT. TWO DIAGNOSTICS REPORTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AUTO-STOPPING BUT NOT WHY THIS WAS OCCURRING. A LOCAL MECHANIC SUGGESTED IT WAS PROBABLY THE GAS GAUGE SENSOR IN THE FUEL PUMP WHICH MADE SENSE TO ME BECAUSE EVERYTHING BUT THE GAS GAUGE WORKED WHENEVER THE CAR AUTO-STOPPED. IT WOULD TYPICALLY RESTART WITHIN 15 MINUTES OR SO. I ASSUMED WE HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I KNOW NOW THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE SAME DIFFICULTIES WITH 1999 DODGE DURANGOS. MY WIFE, STEPDAUGHTER AND I WERE VERY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED DURING THE DRIVING LESSON. THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT (IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
99 DODGE DURANGO SLT 5.9L ENGINE. AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR IN FEB. 2008, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT JUST SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING WAS GIVEN. THIS STARTED HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY WHILE I DROVE IT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED IN BY THE MAN WHO I WAS BUYING IT FROM TO GO TO THE MECHANICS. THEY TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIND THE ISSUE. FINALLY AFTER DEALING WITH NOT HAVING THE CAR ON & OFF FOR THREE MONTHS, I FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS GOT THE SAME ERROR CODE I DID IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW WHICH SAID, "NO BUS." IT WAS THEN TOWED AGAIN, AND I WROTE THE MECHANIC A NOTE TELLING THEM THAT I FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS. THEIR CAR SHUT DOWN AT ANY MOMENT. THE LAST TIME MY CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME WAS WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH. IT JUST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, NO WARNING. WE WERE ALMOST IN A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT. THANKFULLY THE CAR SWERVED AND SOME PEOPLE STOPPED AND HELPED ME PUSH IT OFF TO THE MEDIAN. ONCE AT THE MECHANICS, I RECEIVED A CALL STATING IT WAS IN FACT THE PCM, IT WAS REPLACED AND THEN THE CAR DID NOT DO THIS ANY LONGER. THAT IS A EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE. NOW AGAIN ONE YEAR LATER THIS SAME CAR IS AT THE MECHANICS AGAIN FOR THE PCM BEING REPLACED. I JUST HANDED THEM $450 ( TOTAL $800) TO GET IT. HE HAD MY CAR FOR 6 WEEKS BEFORE DETERMINING THAT THE PCM HAD FAILED ONCE AGAIN ON THIS CAR. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD DISMISS SUCH A ROAD HAZARD. WHILE A GREAT CAR IN LOOKS, IT IS NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD. WE NEED SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THIS CAR AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR AT ANY MOMENT. THEY NEED TO RECALL THE 1999 DODGE DURANGOS AND REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS PCM CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS TO BE CONTINUED TO BE IGNORED BY DODGE. SABRINA FOWLER *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURANGO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE SHUT OFF ON FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. COULD NOT TURN AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES. ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS THE BRAKES. SHUT OFF AT LEAST 4 OR 5 OTHER TIMES IN PARKING LOTS, USUALLY AFTER INITIAL START. SOMETIMES STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SOMETIMES TOOK UP TO 30 MINUTES TO START AGAIN. BATTERY HAD GOOD CHARGE. NO DELAY TO START, JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WE DO NOT DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY ANYMORE FOR FEAR IT WILL SHUT OFF AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TIMING FOR THE FAILURE IS UNPREDICTABLE. HUSBAND TRIED TO REPLAY THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND MAKE IT SHUT OFF, DIDN'T SHUT OFF. BLINKERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. HAVE NOT TRIED REPAIRING IT YET. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, SEEMS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND NONE OF THE USUAL REMEDIES WORK. I AM PLANNING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AM HESITANT TO WASTE MONEY ON SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR OTHERS HAVE BEEN NEGATIVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND BEGAN ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. FREEWAY INCIDENT WAS AROUND MAY THIS YEAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WHICH HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND IT DIED. 3 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED BACK UP AND RAN FINE. THEN, A MONTH LATER WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY IT DIED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER LANE. AFTER 10 MINUTES IT STARTED UP AGAIN AND RAN FINE. A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING IT AND IT SUDDENLY DIED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT TOOK OVER 2 HOURS TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. IT DIED AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER. ANOTHER 15 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND IT DIED PULLING IN TO MY DRIVEWAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL FILTER, AND WHEN I LOOKED FOR THE PART ONLINE, I CAME ACROSS A WEBSITE WITH HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IT WILL JUST DIE UNEXPECTEDLY IRREGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE DRIVING IT OR HOW FAST OR SLOW IT'S GOING. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS REVEAL NO ERROR CODES, PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD TO TRY CHANGING OUT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTS ON THE VEHICLE, AT GREAT COST, WITH NO CONSISTENT SUCCESS AT SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND MONEY GUESSING WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE, AND IT SEEMS DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH 1998-99 DODGE DURANGOS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ALL SEEM TO THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE, AS THE PCM IS LOCATED IN A VERY HIGH HEAT LOCATION UNDER THE HOOD WHICH SEEMS TO FRY THE PCM AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS IT IS RUNNING IN CONJUNCTION WITH.

STEERING
I OWN A 1999 DURANGO AND A 2001 DAKOTA BOTH HAVE LOOSE INTERMEDIATE SHAFTS. THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE IN BOTH TRUCKS. I SPOKE WITH MANY OWNERS OF THESE TYPES OF TRUCKS AND ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN SOMEONE LOOSES STEERING GOING 55 MPH I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE THIS PROBLEM KNOWN BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS IN AN ACCIDENT AND GETS SOMEONE KILLED. *TR
