Ignition problems of the 2000 Dodge Durango

I have a 2000 Durango 5. 9 that will shut off while driving. No codes are stored, and the dash reads "no bus". It has done this several times over the past few months and will always restart after a few minutes. This last time it wouldn't restart and we had it towed home and it started up after that just fine. I have replaced most of the ignition system and pulled the fuel pump to no avail. It is my wife's car and she and I both can't trust it any more with the safety of my wife and children. There are multiple posts and complaints online about this problem but no single "fix", and nothing official from Dodge addressing this very serious safety issue.

I own a 2000 Dodge Durango slt 4wd. The vehicle shuts off when the outdoor temperature exceeds 75 degrees. I have traced the issue to the pcm of the vehicle, which becomes so hot that you cannot touch its metal housing with your hands. The pcm is located in the engine compartment, bolted above the passenger front tire. The pcm has three wire harnesses attached to it, and once the pcm heats up, a "kill" switch is triggered and the vehicle shuts off. Shortly after, the odometer reads "no bus" and the only way to reset the pcm is to leave the ignition key in the "on" position, pull the pcm wire harness that is closest to the passenger compartment, re-seat the harness and hope that you hear a "clicking" sound. The vehicle normally re-starts, but will again turn off at intermittent times. On a typical day of , I will perform this process several times in my 22-mile round-trip to work. Many people have been experiencing the same events, thus causing nightmares for those that do not have a safe pull-off from roads, or those that are in intersections or near crosswalks, since the engine shuts down sporadically.

Vehicle kept flooding out and would not start over a month period in October of 2005. Taken to a garage to be fixed. The computer showed no problem. After getting it started vehicle would be taken home and same problem repeated itself. After 3 trip to garage for same problem the vehicles pcm(engine control computer) has been replaced. Dealer advised that vehicle was 7000 miles over the 80000 mile warranty on that particular part. This vehicle has had problem after problem. From exhaust problems to timing chain assemblers failure to power door locks going out. I can not believe that chrylser was not aware of some of the problems in the 200 Dodge Durango.
