One morning I was taking my 9-year-old daughter to school and our truck just stalled while I was driving. Thank Allah that there was no heavy traffic and no one got hurt. That incident has my daughter scared. I took it to the mechanic they read the diagnostic fixed what codes came up and still my truck is not operating properly. The truck still stalls while driving the mechanic has informed me. I have had my IAC, MAP sensor, TPS, ignition coil, distributor, and canister purge valve replaced.

Car given to me by a family member in Nov 2019 with 135K miles, was the original owner, vehicle was very well maintained. Approximately Feb 2020, driving 70 mph down interstate, car acted like it died-lost all power for about 10 secs, then it came back to life. It was about a month later, it did it again. Mechanic replaced throttle body position sensor(?). soon after, vehicle started to just die while driving. No noise, rattles, no check engine lights, just would shut off like the key was turned off. Didn't matter the terrain or speed, just while driving. Initially it would immediately restart. It seems to have gotten worse since the hotter weather. And it shuts down after driving about 20 mins when the engine has really warmed up. I finally noticed a no bus message on the odometer-which from researching means the computer isn't communicating. Mechanic unable to pull a code, said it's clearing itself out right after it throws it. Today went in, and we got lucky and hooked machine while car was running and it died. And the scanner would not recognize nor communicate with the PCM. Numerous issues with Dodge/Chrysler vehicles for this exact same problem. And it doesn't seem to have a single fix for it. Some a new PCM worked, some other sensors, one said just loosening the screws on the PCM worked for him, some nothing worked. This is so dangerous, car just shutting off without warning while you're driving. I can not believe this hasn't been a recall issue after 20 years. I see a lot of this model of vehicle on the road still, but it doesn't seem limited to just the Durangos either. It almost seems as if something near the PCM or the wires to it are getting too hot and causing an issue or even burning out the PCM. Did a reset by unhooking battery cable, and the car restarted this last time. This is dangerous for everyone.

Shuts off engine when your driving for no apparent reason. The odometer has a no bus reading on it. This is very dangerous! thanks for any help.

Vehicle stalls without warning. May stall multiple times same day, then not for a few weeks. Vehicle may be hot or cold, and outside temperature doesn't seem to affect stalling. Turning or driving straight. Public street or straight as in using driveway. Stationary, may start then stall, or while in motion. Not one date - all the time. Date below is is just to fill in the blank.

Basically, for each problem I'm having either my truck shuts off without warning while driving at any speed or in the middle of turning (electrical stability). Radiator fan fuse blows each time its suppose to come on (engine) and car shakes while driving or exact what NHTSA campaign id: 08E064000 states.

I purchased a 2000 Dodge Durango used at 147K miles in November 2014. By March 2015, it turned off randomly while I was driving, multiple times over the course of 6 months. The speed didn't matter. After seeing 2 mechanics, they sent me to an electrical specialist who determined it was my PCM. I replaced it 3 times, and the second one sent to me had holes drilled in it then filled with silicone. That one worked the least. Apparently, the PCM was replaced once before I purchased it. When I got the third one in, it seemed to correct the issue. How is the engine shutting off randomly not a recall issue" what if it shut off while I was driving down the highway at 65mph? what if there was no good place to pull over, and with no power steering I might add" I had my kid in the car with me most of the time.

Head gasket leak created a heater core issue where coolant would "mist" through the vents. This posed a health risk to my children and I who have asthma. And there's no telling the long term effects of inhaling coolant mist. Due to cost, we had to reroute the heater core, thus disabling it and going without heat and defrost during the winter months. Since then, the gasket issue is now causing even more issues of smoking under the hood, smoke out the tail pipe, and coolant overheating. It is my understanding head gaskets are a common problem with Durangos. It's about time they issue a recall and fix it. I'm greatly concerned about my children's health and safety, plus the environmental impact from the emissions change due to the gasket.

First off, the power driver seat moves with the motion of the car about a 1/2" forward and back. It has been told to me that a spacer is needed to be installed in the mechanism. Second and more important is the engine cuts off when the car is decelerating; all power to the car is impeded. The car will not restart immediately.

Multiple times the truck has just died. Driving down the road no warning. The vehicle runs just fine and starts right back up. Yesterday this happened on the highway and almost caused a major accident. When it dies you loose all power steering and power brakes. It is dangerous and ive found numerous complaints online from Durango owners with the same problem.

- Rainier, OR, USA

Would start spitting jumping jerking rough idle almost stop then would pull over put in part would idle really low to where it almost die go to pull out barely would like it was stalling no power even with the gas pedal to the floor was a couple times I almost got hit because it would start this and lose power slow way down would try to get off to side of the road thought it might be the gas so we got the really high grade to just see still does it have got stranded out a couple times had to get someone to come help me get it home it scares me I'm afraid I'm going to get hit when it does this and I'm on fixed income so I can't afford to spend any money on it to fix it so was wondering if it was something that maybe it was recalled for I bought it used in 2013 from a lady that let me make payments til I got it paid for thank you

After reading the other posts on this website, I wanted to share my problem. I own a 2000 Dodge Durango, it has about 172,000 miles. My husband and I are retired and only drive it a few times a week. After owning the truck for four months, it would not start. I had it towed to the garage and was told it was the cam sensor. After the sensor was replaced I had no problems for about six months. Then it would not start sometimes, even when it was cold. It would die while driving regardless of the speed. I mean it just shuts off completely. Sometimes it would start right back up and sometimes it would take fifteen minutes or more. I took it back to the garage and the mechanic was surprised that the cam sensor was bad again. He replaced the cam sensor and the truck was good for about four months. Just recently while we on vacation (about two hours from home) the sensor went bad again! luckily we made it home, the mechanic replaced the cam sensor again. If this is a common problem, what doesn't Dodge fix the problem, and reimburse Durango owners for the repair bills!

I was driving on the interstate speed limit 75 and the engine just shut off. No steering, no brakes, no codes, no warning lights nothing. Thank goodness it was in the evening and light traffic, got finally stopped and had to wait 2hrs before restarting, went about another 5 miles and did it again. Finally got to where I was going and then the next day had to travel again on interstate and it did it again and had to wait 45 minutes to restart. When I finally got home I search the internet for this problem and there a many many sites that people have had the same problem!!!! a recall needs to be done and this problem needs to be fixed before someone gets hurt.
