Seven problems related to ignition have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle stalls periodically. It will not re-start right away. Sometimes it starts up after a minute or two, sometimes five minutes, sometimes after an hour or so. We had the vehicle diagnosed by edelen tire & service and twice by conway heaton Dodge in bardstown, ky. Conway heaton verified the problem on February 1, 2002. Neither service center could determine the root cause and fix the problem. I also contacted Chryslers customer service and got them involved (care # 9699040). They contacted conway heaton to help, but could not. I have a 3 year old vehicle which is unsafe because it stalls without notice. Chrysler and conway heaton tell me there is nothing they can do. Please help!.
Spark plug/coil wire standoffs design is inadequate allowing wires to come in contact with valve covers causing chaffing and eventually failure of wires.
Vehicle stalled at 30 mph.
Motor, ignition, tie rods, brakes. Heater/air have had hardly no heat or a/c for the last 4 years. . Have replaced everything from fan, blower, cooling, water pump, heater core etc. Still back in the shop on 12-28-04 got back today 01-01-05 and still no heat don't know what is wrong with it.
Vehicle accelerates/ motor makes a knocking sound. Dealer replaced sparks, it caused vehicle to loose horse power and fuel economy. A new intake gasket was put in, and the computer was scanned to add a new code for more fuel. Problem was not solved.
Engine knocks under load continuously and uses excessive oil. Dealer has told me it is due to faulty computer but it has been 2 years and no fix as of yet. Wisconsin lemon laws say I needed to bring the vehicle back 3 times in one year to declare it a lemon unfortunately I believed diamler Chrysler was going to fix it. Diamler Chrysler contacted and offered no resolution.
Repeatly since we have had the car we have had engine noises and failure to advance gear when driving. One of the more frightening incidents was when driving on the highway the engine lost power at 65+ . I last evening after just getting it back from the dealer my husband had it out with my son and it stalled again on him. I refuse to drive it to get my kids in college for fear of an accident somehow that does not seem right. I have a claim #7286397. Please help. Pat ryan.
