Engine mysteriously dies for no apparent reason. It may happen at idle all the way to and including highway speeds. Dry weather or wet weather. Cold weather or hot weather. Cold engine or warm engine. No pattern detected. It doesn't splutter -- it just dies as if the ignition key has been turned off, and it throws no code.

The emine will die amytime! going around cormers lor on expressway sitting in driveway idling. My family has had this vehicle sine 1999. This just started 6 months ago. Up until then it never happened. Replaced several sensors (tps, iac, map, coolant temp and also computer)so far nothing fixes it. I know Dodge knows about this and so do you!!! something needs to be done there are too many Dakota/durangos on the road I am surprised no one has died or at very least been hurt badly. I know it goes on in earlier Dakotas and later of both not sure if it ever was fixed since old bodystyle ended in 2004. Happwned first time about Feb.1,2018. Afraid to drive it for fear of dying or badly hurt because it dies anywhere anytime including rush hour trffic in tulsa
