2001 Dodge Durango: fuel pump failure

Filed Nov 17, 2011 · Transmission · 156,000 miles · NC

I was driving my 2001 dodge durango to work one day when it died at an intersection. I tried to start it for about three minutes before it finally turned back on. I got to my destination, then on the way back it stalled out three more times in a row. I managed to get it to a safe parking lot. That weekend I went to get it with my wife following me, and made it home safely, where it sat in my driveway until I could replace the fuel pump. Then, on november 16, 2011, I was driving to work when it stalled out again. Obviously it wasn't the fuel pump, and after doing more research and calling the local dodge dealer I found out that it was probably the PCM (powertrain control module). Apparently there has been a big problem with dodge durango's and dakota's stalling out due to malfunctions of the PCM.

While driving 2001 dodge durango will shut off if foot is token off the gas pedal. Will also shut off during turns in major traffic, causing an accident. Truck will also shut off within 5 min of idling. I have had the idle valve control replaced, fuel pump, battery, tps sensor, fuel cleaned etc. It doesn't throw any codes and mechanics don't know what the problem is. Please help! This is becoming dangerous, especially with small children in the vehicle.

I have had my dodge for three years and since then several things had to be replaced on it. I had to have my transmission rebuilt due to the coolant failure. The sensor stopped working and over heated the engine burnt up the transmission. The motor in the driver window burnt out and had to e replaced. The dodge stop cranking so we had to replace the fuel pump. We are now having problems with the cooling fan on the engine that has burnt out as well. I am very displeased with my truck and will never buy another dodge again. All these things happened in a year. Man I hate this truck.
