Dodge Durango Electrical System Safety Report | Aug 19, 2010
Reported on Aug 19, 2010
| THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM. MY 99 DODGE DURANGO HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY WEBSITES AND HEARD FROM MANY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE ECU IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE'S HEAT AND CAUSES IT OR THE WIRES TO SHORT OUT ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER HEAT. ONE IT SHUTS OFF IT WILL START AGAIN BUT IT SEEMS IT NEEDS A BIT TO COOL DOWN. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX IT YET CAUSE I HEAR THERE IS NO SOLUTION. I HAVE PURCHASED SOME HEAT SHIELDING TAPE AND SHEETS TO PUT AROUND IT BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM IN THE MAIL SO HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET. *TR | |
