Four problems related to computer failure have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving down the highway when the vehicle powered down without notice. I lost my power steering and the powered brakes. It would randomly without any warning. Turns out it was the computer, and the mechanic said that Dodge is notorious for the computer failing. The computer is very close to the engine, and this causes the board to warp and connections to break. These cars need to be recalled, and this issue needs to be addressed, or it will get someone killed.
