1999 Dodge Durango electrical problems

Phantom misfire can drop engine RPM and stall. Every possible sensor replaced. Fuel pump, injectors replaced. Entire ignition system replaced. There has never been a check engine light and while the phantom misfire happens a professional code reader shows no misfire and no history of events. Can happen at anytime, any speed. At slower speed the engine will cut off while driving causing a dangerous problem with loss of steering and brake hydraulics. Condition has been happening for over five years and I'm into this demon for thousands of dollars.

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.

Makong turns, the oil pressure plummets. Wheel speed sensors are causing the dash light to stay on. Been through 2 new PCM computers. Spark plugs foul out too easy. Battery temp sensor needs to be beefed up. Factory anti theft system stopped working. There is a short somewhere. This durango has died while in motion too. Scary.

1999 dodge durango PCM/ecu will fail when it gets hot, giving a no bus, and causing the engine to stall and lose power steering and brakes. This has happened to my vehicle on numerous occasions at highway speed where I was barely able to control the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue. I have had the PCM/ecu replaced over 5 times, which is extremely dangerous. Experts have pin pointed the issues to certain chips coming unsoldered in the PCM/ecu due to heat. Keenan laws has youtube videos on exactly what the issues are, as well as many other have done. Dodge contract's out the soldering of these chips, but they don't do a good job as some don't work at all. For example, we put three in before we got one that worked. This is inexcusable and puts people lives at very high risk. I paid around $800 to a dodge dealership in santa rosa california for a PCM/ecu that lasted only months. It takes a tremendous amount of strength to control the durango with no power steering and brakes. Dodge hasn't been a help or the PCM/ecu rebuilders. Currently I'm waiting on another rebuilt PCM/ecu, which the rebuilder can't even give a time when I could get one. The date below is the most current incident, but this has been going on since about 2009 and approximately 170,000 miles.
