1999 Dodge Durango: engine stalls while driving

Filed Oct 5, 2020 · Electrical, Engine · 113,000 miles · VA

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.

1999 dodge durango. Start out with going down the road and it would just stall out. Would have to wait for a while then it would restart. I replaced the cam sensor, crank sensor, throttle position sensor, transmission sensor computer. Drove for 6 months then it started having the rpms to fluctuate and would not stay running. Put another computer in and checked sensors. It keeps throwing a code that computer is bad and multiple codes are being sent for lots of sensor issues. I have been on the dodge forum and wow the complaints on there. Having the exact same problem.e own two dodges and after this; the problem I really would not recommend a dodge to anyone. This all happened when driving, now after all this, it will not even run enough to move to take to a dealer. Which they say they do not know the exact thing wrong.

4 times in the last two weeks while driving in heavy city traffic in the los angeles, ca area the engine turned off, without warning, warning lights, or warning sounds. All guages went to zero. There was no abnormal function of the vehicle before each incident. Power assist to steering and brakes were also lost. Each time it was in dry, sunny weather with the temperature between 60 and 80 degrees fahrenheit. Each time I was able to coast to a curb or physically push the vehicle out of traffic. Each time, except one, the engine would not start immediately afterward. The engine would turn over briskly but would not start. After 4 to 6 attempts the car would start normally and then run normally as if nothing had ever happened. Each time the gasoline tank was at least one quarter full. Two additional times in the last two months the engine shut off while driving and then almost immediately turned back on again. The transmission was completely rebuilt 5 months ago. This had the potential to cause a crash but did not in each of the instances.

Acceleration and stalling issues while in motion. When coming to a stop the vehicle will shut off, on both street and highway. Replaced iac, map sensor, tps sensor and still did not fix the issue.

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.

I drove to town, stopped and turned off my engine for an 30 minute wait with construction. It started and I drove to visit my son. I turn off the engine, stayed a bit to visit, went to go home and it wouldn't start. Finally got it to start and drove it home and parked it. Drove to town a couple of days later and it died while driving, barely made it to town. Looked for information on the net only to find this is a very common problem and a major safety issue. This vehicle dies while driving and control of the vehicle at highway speeds is highly dangerous. Why hasn't chrysler issued a recall? Are they waiting for someone (or an entire family) to die? Is that really what it takes, a loss of life before anything will be done? I've read that it could be the PCM, the PCM wiring harness, or a computer chip/sensor/relay something or other under the air cleaner. No real, permanent, fix at this point, a lot of people are struggling to determine the cause and a fix for this problem. Why isn't chrysler helping? Chrysler doesn't back their product? No wonder american people opt for imports, they are reliable and built to last. How about doing the right thing chrysler and step up!
