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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO SLT. WHILE DRIVING 10-30 MPH THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND SHIFTED OUT OF SECOND GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO THIRD GEAR AND THE RPMS INCREASED UP TO 34000. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWENTY MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO OFFER HIM ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 132,520. ALSO, THE BALL JOINT WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 10/07/10

1999 DODGE DURANGO (5.2L V8) CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND LIGHT TRAFFIC AT SPEEDS UP TO 75 MPH AS WELL AS AT A STOP LIGHT. STALLS ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. MY WIFE CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BOOSTED BRAKES. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND STOP WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE FAULT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PCM (ENGINE COMPUTER) WHICH OVERHEATS IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (>75 DEGREES). REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT INITIALLY DETERMINE NATURE OF FAILURES AND QUOTED A VERY HIGH PRICED REPAIR THAT WOULD 'PROBABLY' FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT POURING ICE WATER ON THE COMPUTER COOLS IT SUFFICIENTLY AND ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO START UP AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. REPLACING PCM COSTS $300 FOR DIY OR >$600 FROM A REPAIR SHOP. MANUFACTURER HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO REPLACE OR RECALL THIS ITEM.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT EXCESSIVE WEAR AS IN 2000 MODEL YEAR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V596000. THIS DURANGO HAS 85561 MILES WHICH IS BELOW THE 100,000 MILE CUT OFF FOR THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE FOR THE 2000 MODEL YEAR. THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ON BOTH SIDES SHOW EXCESSIVE WEAR AND WILL SEPARATE JUST AS THE UPPER BALL JOINTS ON THE 2000 MODEL YEAR. I AM HAVING THEM REPLACED HOWEVER, THE 1999 MODEL YEAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V596000. *JB

IN JANUARY OF 05 HAD TO HAVE BOTH UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACED, CONTROL ARM, FRONT BRAKES AND NEW TIRES AS A RESULT OF BAD F/E SUSPENSION. NOW TODAY THE SPEED SENSOR (AND I AM HOPING THAT'S IT) HAS GONE OUT ON THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD TWO WINDOW MOTOR FAILURES, A SUDDEN DROP IN OIL PRESSURE CAUSING THE TRUCK TO STALL AND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THESE FAILURES AND THE DODGE DURANGO AND ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE RECALLED OTHER DODGE TRUCKS FOR THESE ISSUES - THEY HAVE YET TO HAVE RECALLED THE 1999. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE SINCE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY RESPONDED TELLING ME THAT THEY HADN'T HAD ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS MADE TO NHTSA AND TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN REGARDS TO THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE DODGE DEALER I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM (USED) SOLD IT TO ME KNOWING OF THESE PROBLEMS - ALTHOUGH THIS I DOUBT I COULD EVER PROVE. I AM THANKFUL THAT THE FRONT WHEELS STAYED ON AS LONG AS THEY DID AS I HAVE READ OF THE BALL JOINT ISSUE CAUSING WHEEL SEPARATION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY (4 SMALL CHILDREN - WE RELY ON THIS AS OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION) AND I HOPE THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED BUT HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS. *NM

FRONT END WEARING TIRES AND UNSTABLE FRONT END, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND I WAS INSTRUCTED THE FRONT END BALL JOINTS WERE WORN OUT AFTER 3 YEARS, AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHY AREN'T THE 1999 DODGE DARANGOS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK

THE DODGE DURANGO WE BOUGHT NEW HAD TO HAVE NEW UPPER BALL JOINTS REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW TIE RODS IN ORDER TO HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED PROPERLY. IT HAD BEEN WEARING THE TIRES OUT ON THE OUTER EDGE TOO FAST SINCE NEW. THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN OUT THAT FAST; INSTEAD THEY WERE DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN ALL THE DODGE DURNAGO. IF YOU DO A RECALL YOU SHOULD NOT START WITH JUST THE 2000 YEAR MODELS; YOU SHOULD START WITH THE1998, THE FIRST YEAR, AND DO EVERY YEAR UP UNTIL THE NEW 2005 MODELS. THE EARLIER DURANGOS ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE LATER ONES ON THIS ITEM. I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU ISSUE YOUR RECALL NOTICE IN THE FUTURE. WE HAD TO HAVE THESE REPLACED AT OUR OWN EXPENSE..

I AM LETTING YOU KNOW THAT MY DODGE DURANGO 1999 HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THE BALL JOINTS WHICH NEED REPLACING, BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I FILED THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT IT AND AM INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT CAN BE DONE BEING THAT SEVERAL OF THE SAME VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND ARE CONSISTANT WITH THE SAME MODEL OF VEHICLE THAT I HAVE. I FEEL AS THOUGH I PUT MY CONFIDENCE IN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY SAFETY ISSUES AND NOW I DO. THIS TO ME IS A FAILURE IN PARTS ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD FAILURES WITH THE WHEELS FALLING OFF BUT HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY OUR MECHANIC THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED SOON OTHERWISE WE WILL HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS. JUST WANT TO BE ADVISED IF THE MANUFACTURER IS GOING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL? THE DATE I HAVE ENTERED IS A DATE IN WHICH I BELIEVE IS ABOUT THE TIME THAT I HAVE RESPONDED WITH THIS CONCERN ON MY VEHICLE. THE MEDIA HAD REPORTED THIS PROBLEM ON THE NATIONAL NEWS AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING THE INFO TO THEM THAT I INDEED HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AND WAS INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS GOING TO DO IN REGARDS TO THIS?*AK
