Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2000 Dodge Durango

When driving foe 10 miles. Engine shuts off. Loose all power. New pcm. Same results.

I purchased a 2000 Dodge Durango used at 147k miles in November 2014. By March 2015, it turned off randomly while I was driving, multiple times over the course of 6 months. The speed didn't matter. After seeing 2 mechanics, they sent me to an electrical specialist who determined it was my pcm. I replaced it 3 times, and the second one sent to me had holes drilled in it then filled with silicone. That one worked the least. Apparently, the pcm was replaced once before I purchased it. When I got the third one in, it seemed to correct the issue. How is the engine shutting off randomly not a recall issue? what if it shut off while I was driving down the highway at 65mph? what if there was no good place to pull over, and with no power steering I might add? I had my kid in the car with me most of the time.

After reading the other posts on this website, I wanted to share my problem. I own a 2000 Dodge Durango ,it has about 172,000 miles. My husband and I are retired and only drive it a few times a week. After owning the truck for four months, it would not start. I had it towed to the garage and was told it was the cam sensor. After the sensor was replaced I had no problems for about six months. Then it would not start sometimes, even when it was cold. It would die while driving regardless of the speed. I mean it just shuts off completely. Sometimes it would start right back up and sometimes it would take fifteen minutes or more. I took it back to the garage and the mechanic was surprised that the cam sensor was bad again. He replaced the cam sensor and the truck was good for about four months. Just recently while we on vacation (about two hours from home) the sensor went bad again! luckily we made it home, the mechanic replaced the cam sensor again. If this is a common problem, what doesn't Dodge fix the problem, and reimburse Durango owners for the repair bills!.

Vehicle stopped running while driving on highway. Engine shut down to 400 (four hundred) rpms. Pulled to side of highway luckily and engine shut off. Would not start. I have owned this truck for 12 years. Something started smoking and possibility of fire was a major concern.

I have a 2000 Dodge Durango 5. 9l v8. When it is hot outside (over ), the SUV will shut off. I live in florida where it's hot almost all year. I would be driving on the highway and it would just shut off. I am afraid that a semi would hit me from behind. Please do something before someone dies. Please.
