Unknown Or Other problem #1

I was driving on the highway at about 55 miles per hour when all of a sudden my vehicle just shut down. No steering or brakes. After waiting about 15 minutes it fires right back up. This has happened numerous times since then when temperatures outside get above 78 degrees. Today it stalled as I was waiting to turn left at a very busy intersection and had to be pushed while cars are still trying to pass and go around me. I had my sister and our 5 kids in the car. This is very dangerous and I have read on different websites numerous complaints of this same thing happening. Somebody could be seriously injured when you lose brakes and steering at high rates of speed.

Unknown Or Other problem #2

I was driving down the road, and the vehicle just shutdown. I check my gauges, and noticed that a "no bus" code was showing, and that the fuel tank indicated there was no fuel. Another driver behind me assisted me in pushing the vehicle out of the road, because the vehicle would not restart. After sitting there for 20 -30 minutes, trying to restart the vehicle, it finally started. The fuel gauge showed almost a full tank of fuel and everything seemed to be fine. Before I could make it home, it shutdown on me again. This is an ongoing problem, my vehicle has shutdown on me six more times, and now it is parked in my driveway. I have been very lucky, and I am not going to push my luck by driving this vehicle. I have heard about problems with the new front suspension on this model Durango, and yes, I replaced the ball joints on my vehicle which would give me a couple more years before having to replace them again. Is Toyota the only auto maker stepping up being responsible for their product? comon man !!!!!!.

I own a 1999 Dodge Durango it started stalling out and stopped running at random times. My wife almost got rearended aat a traffic light. It stalled out on me on railroad tracks.

Unknown Or Other problem #5

My 99 Durango while driving just looses all power and shuts down I have replaced the battery, air idle processor. The stepper motor and a new alternator. My vehicle still will not stay running, I have children and need to get then to and from school, I feel very unsafe because I do not know when this is going to shut down. I have read alot of other complaints with the same problem with the same year vehicle on auto beef. Com. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and Dodge needs to take responsibility before this ends up in very serious accidents possible death.

Unknown Or Other problem #6

While maneuvering in icy conditions the cruise control because of its design on the steering wheel, inadvertently engaged resulting in a crash. It seems that wearing gloves contributes to the problem.

Unknown Or Other problem #7

Because of it's proximity to the steering wheel, the cruise control engaged inadvertently while maneuvering in icy conditions causing the vehicle to spin wildly out of control resulting in a collision.

Unknown Or Other problem #8

I just had $3000 in transmission work done on my 99 Dodge Durango. Now you don't need to depress brake to shift from park to reverse or drive. I have owned this car nearly 4 years and never noticed this before so I assume something was disconnected during repair. When we call repair shop they say brake shift interlock was not a feature on 99 Durango. I feel this is a huge safety issue that needs to be addressed. It is an accident waiting to happen. What can be done?.

Unknown Or Other problem #9

The axle broke while driving at 55 mph and as a result the driver was not able to control the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for analysis. The main bolt attachment to the suspension was replaced because it sheared off.

Unknown Or Other problem #10

Please invesitgate the oil pumps on the 1999 Dodge Durango. Ours has gone out 2 times over the past 2 1/2 months. The dealer is trying to blame this on sludge in the engine from not changing the oil, but that is not true. We do have our oil changed. They also tried to state that we were really low on oil. My husband had just put a quart of oil in the engine the day before. I went to carsurvey. Com and found several listings of this same problem with the 1999 Dodge Durango. . . The oil pressure suddenly drops to zero. Some reports state they even threw their rods when it happened. Others have had bearing wear. We were on the interstate when our oil pressure suddenly dropped to zero when this happened the first time. We had to stop and continue putting oil in the engine about every 100 miles so we could make it home from vactation. It's like the oil was disappearing, but there was no visible leak. No leak in our driveway when we got home either. The dealer replaced the oil pump after we got home in October. Three weeks later the oil pressure would start at zero when I initially turned on the car in the morning, the check engine light would ding, and then the oil pressure would go up to normal. I thought it was due to cold weather. Last Thursday, I went two blocks and the oil pressure dropped to zero 4 times while I was driving. I immediately returned the car home and my husband had it towed to the dealer because we are afraid to drive it. The dealer is replacing the pump again. I read on carsurvey. Com that someone was told this was a problem with some gasket being too small for the oil pan by the dealer. They asked why there had not been a recall to fix this and there was no reasonable answer given. Please help. There appears to be a bigger problem that is being shuffled under the table.

Unknown Or Other problem #11

Oil gauge was not operating. Dealer notified, and still unwilling to assist in this matter. Problem has been repaired.
