Crankshaft Position Sensor Problems of Dodge Durango

The crankshaft position sensor consistently going bad , due to faulty wiring harness or other issues. This will cause the vehicle to randomly shut off while either sitting or driving , and the its unknown as to why it is happening. Suggested repair is to just replace , but I replace 1 a year . I have replaced 6 in the last 5 years of owning this vehicle. Dealership is unable to locate the problem to why the cps keeps failing .

Our Durango randomly shuts off while driving or when we are idle. It happens a lot when making turns and I loose steering as well. Abs indicator on as well as check engine light. The check engine light usually shows O2 sensors or crank shaft sensors. Had both replaced many times and the issue still occurs. Very dangerous situation, as it is our family car.

Vehicle has stalled several times in the middle of the road as well as not starting at irregular moments. I have taken it to the Dodge dealership and auto repair shop. Each time to have something different fixed, first time it was battery and leads, next it was alternator, then new belt , and after each fix the problem would come back, finally an honest mechanic explained that I had to remove leads to battery for 5 minutes before car could crank again. This makes no sense. He checked cam sensor and crankshaft sensor - all good too. This has been a problem for over two years. The worst time was when I was not principal city street at rush hour with 3 children in the vehicle. Of course, I was more worried about getting the children out of the stalled vehicle and safely to the side of the street before pushing the vehicle to a nearby Dodge dealership. It seems older Dodge Durangos like mine from 2006 have this come problem. Why hasn't a source to this problem been identified and a manufacturer recall solution been provided? twice I have had the vehicle in a Dodge dealership and new expenses for different things were prescribed, and none fixed the problem. Must the public wait until some dies on the road when this problem which leads to stalled vehicles have more accidents and then deaths?.

I own a 99 Dodge Durango, 5. 9 liter, the events to the failure were stalling while driving on freeway, at stop, in intersections, without warning. When attempting to restart, dash cluster would not function, read no bus on odometer, and show I had no fuel on gas gauge. Also when it would stall I would lose brakes and power steering, making it hard to get out of the way of traffic or move to the side of the road. The first time it happened I had my wife and 2 infants with me on the freeway doing 65 in the middle lane. Not only unexpected, extremely dangerous. Since then I will not allow my family in this car. Things that were done to correct the issue were fuel pump, cap and rotor, plugs, wires, crank sensor, and pcm. I have receipts for all work and parts. Old pcm not available due to core.

I have owned this vehicle for almost 2 years. It started last summer when the vehicle started dying for no reason and without warning. Took to mechanic said O2 sensor. Replaced. Then does it a few days later. Took back. Transmission slipping. Rebuilt. Then winter comes runs great. Thought problem was fixed. So this summer comes, starts dying again. So took to a mechanic said it was the crank shaft sensor. Replaced. Did it as I left his house. He took it back said it was the pcm. Am still waiting for one after the one I got was bad. Replaced another O2 sensor and it dies 5 times on my way home yesterday with my 7 year old and my 7 month old in my vehicle. I live in California so to be stranded on the side of the road in 92 degree weather is unacceptable. This is not fair, and after only searching for 5 minutes I have found hundreds of complaints on this vehicle and nothing has been done. It is dangerous for a vehicle to die going down the freeway at 65 miles per hour with children in the car and it just dies leaving you with no control of the vehicle and barely being able to get off the road. I was nearly rear ended by a semi the other day on the freeway. So scary. If any thing happens to my children I will sue!!.

Owner of Dodge Durango 2 weeks ago my car stopped all of a sudden on the highway, I waited at least 15 minutes thereafter car started again. Truck allowed me to make close to my home,before stopping again. Although this time I waited 30 minutes before vehicle would started again. I finally arrived home parked the vehicle in the driveway. Next morning truck started but could not make it out of my driveway, it continue to shut down. I decided to have it towed. Repair station installed fuel pump, partial injection cleaning and idle, I drove the truck for 1 hour parked in the driveway, woke up next morning truck would not start, few minutes later started up again, I took truck to repair shop but they were unable to id any problems. Thereafter, truck stopped again, I decided to tow to dealership whom replaced crankshaft sensor, tune up and full injection cleaning for 950. 00 but truck still continues to stop, now dealer tech has stated pcm needs to be replaced which will cost 800. 00 this is totally insane, based on all the $ spend, it could have been a down payment on another truck. Dodge daimler Chrysler should be held responsible for all repairs and through investigation, especially since no one can identify root cause, also not to mention occurrences are jeopardizing people lives due to the vehicles continues to cease working at any given time.

1999 Dodge Durango completely shuts down without warning. This seems to happen when the vehicle has warmed up. We replaced the crank position sensor, still the same problem. Research and diagnostics point to the pcm module. . Read more...

I own a Dodge Durango that is the worst vehicle I have ever purchased. It suffers from "shut off when it wants to syndrome" and the company won't even acknowledge that the problem exists even though it is the number one complaint about this particular model on the internet Durango sites. To make matters worse they don't even know what causes it to do that therefore making repairing the vehicle impossible. It is basically a death trap as when the engine shuts off so does the power steering and the brakes!!! the odometer reads “nobus�. We have changed several things such as the pcm about 6 times, crank shaft sensor, cam sensor, shut down relay, and fuel pump relay. We still have the same problem. We believe that this is a very serious problem that can cause many accidents. As for us we are tired of investing money so that the vehicle keeps doing the same thing of shutting down and not starting. Then having to get it towed home is not so cheap. If we can get a solution from Dodge that would be awesome. Thank you.

While returning home from a family vacation, my 1999 Dodge Durango lost completely lost power and shut down. Luckily I was able to pull off the road. After several minutes of trying to start the car it started up. A few minutes later it shut down again. Again, after a few minutes it started and I was able to drive the last 20 miles to get home. After unloading the car, I tried to start the car with no luck. I noticed the odometer display read " no bus ". I told this to the mechanic and he thought the crank sensor was the problem. It still shuts down after the repair. The car has shut down a total of 4 times and I still haven't found the repair solution. I think it is the computer. It gets too hot and shuts the car down. This is extremely dangerous and I can't believe Dodge hasn't done a recall on this before now.

Dodge Durango just stops running at random times. This occurs at speeds of 10-60 mph or even when the car is being started. The odometer blinks and reads no bus. There are numerous reports of this on Dodge internet forums. The powertrain control module and/or crankshaft sensors end up being replaced, but the problem is hard to diagnose and dangerous because it occurs without warning and while driving. With so many reports on 1999-2002 Dodge Durangos having this problem (search Durango pcm "no bus") something must be defective. My Durango began doing this about a month ago and the dealer doesn't see anything wrong. I was mildly injured during one of the failures, when my Durango 'shut off' while I was coming down a highway ramp and I bumped my head against the driver side window while trying to stabilize the car, which suddenly and without warning had no powertrain control.

We recently purchased a 1999 Dodge Durango slt from a private party. This is a well maintained vehicle and has no history of problems. Within a few days of having this vehicle it began to stall for no apparent reason. This would be at 65 mph or stopped. If you wait 5-20 min it will restart. We have had this car looked at and have replaced the crank sensor to no avail. While doing an internet search it appears this is not a new problem and many other owners are experiencing it as well. The mechanics get no code from the stall and no one can pinpoint the problem. We are frustrated and pretty unhappy to find out this is a recurring problem with this vehicle. This is very dangerous as everything locks up when it stalls.
