Dodge Durango 1999 Complaint

Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM : IGNITION

LAS VEGAS, NV

Consumer Complaint:
WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE GETS ABOVE 65 DEGREES, THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT REGARD TO MOVING FAST OR BEING STOPPED. A SIGNAL SHOWS IN THE DASH THAT READS "NO BUS". CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN UNTIL IT HAS SAT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND COOLS DOWN A LITTLE. THERE ARE MANY STRINGS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH DODGE DURANGOS. MINE IS A 1999 MODEL WITH 5.9L ENGINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES, AND MOSTLY WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY DANGEROUS ON THE BUSY ROADS OF LAS VEGAS. MANY ONLINE FORUMS INDICATE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTOR AT THE ECM. IF THAT IS TRULY THE PROBLEM, IT IS A MFR DEFECT THAT IS ENDANGERING LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF U.S. CITIZENS AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT GUESSWORK AND WITHOUT DELAY BY THE MFR. *TR
