NHTSA complaint #10819272, filed 2016-01, 214,000 miles“I purchased a 2000 Dodge Durango used at 147k miles in november 2014. By march 2015, it turned off randomly while I was driving, multiple times over the course of 6 months. The speed didn't matter. After seeing 2 mechanics, they sent me to an electrical specialist who determined it was my PCM. I replaced it 3 times, and the second one sent to me had holes drilled in it then filled with silicone. That one worked the least. Apparently, the PCM was replaced once before I purchased it. When I got the third one in, it seemed to correct the issue. …”
