“The Durango acts like it's running out of gas and it doesn't want to shift I've changed the sensors a while back and I've had a transmission flush and it still keeps not wanting to shift from 1st to 2nd it just keeps rpms are going way high like up to five and six before it'll shift and then it still doesn't want to shift unless you let off the gas and when you give it gas it just chugs and chugs like it's running out of gas and it will not shift”
NHTSA complaint #10979179, filed 2017-04, 169,000 miles“Just bought this vehicle, the ABS and brake light is on, contacted seller and he stated it was not on when he sold it to me. I took to auto zone for them to run the needed scan on it. It showed rear wheel sensor. So, I took it to my mechanic. He then ran 3 different code scans on it and it came up with nothing. So, unfortunately he can't fix it without a code. Unless I want to thro more money into it just to start replace ikng things that maybe may not be the problem. Now the check engine light is on. …”

NHTSA complaint #10413104, filed 2011-07, 130,000 miles“1999 Dodge Durango PCM/ecu will fail when it gets hot, giving a no bus, and causing the engine to stall and lose power steering and brakes. This has happened to my vehicle on numerous occasions at highway speed where I was barely able to control the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue. I have had the PCM/ecu replaced over 5 times, which is extremely dangerous. Experts have pin pointed the issues to certain chips coming unsoldered in the PCM/ecu due to heat. Keenan laws has youtube videos on exactly what the issues are, as well as many other have done. …”
NHTSA complaint #11015861, filed 2017-08, 360,000 miles“I am my daughter were doing 35 miles per hour on a city street. When we approached a stop light the 99 Durango just died. Tried to start it again on it wouldn't turn over. Had to call a tow truck to get off of one of the busiest streets in our town, and blocked traffic for a long time. Ever since I bought the vehicle on may 5th, 2015, I can only drive it about 30 minutes and it will just die where ever I may be. I unplug the white PCM plug to the PCM (computer) and it will then start again, but only for about 30 minutes. …”
