AFTER READING THE OTHER POSTS ON THIS WEBSITE, I WANTED TO SHARE MY PROBLEM. I OWN A 2000 DODGE DURANGO ,IT HAS ABOUT 172,000 MILES. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE RETIRED AND ONLY DRIVE IT A FEW TIMES A WEEK. AFTER OWNING THE TRUCK FOR FOUR MONTHS, IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CAM SENSOR. AFTER THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED I HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. THEN IT WOULD NOT START SOMETIMES, EVEN WHEN IT WAS COLD. IT WOULD DIE WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. I MEAN IT JUST SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. SOMETIMES IT WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD TAKE FIFTEEN MINUTES OR MORE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE GARAGE AND THE MECHANIC WAS SURPRISED THAT THE CAM SENSOR WAS BAD AGAIN. HE REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR AND THE TRUCK WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS. JUST RECENTLY WHILE WE ON VACATION (ABOUT TWO HOURS FROM HOME) THE SENSOR WENT BAD AGAIN! LUCKILY WE MADE IT HOME, THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR AGAIN. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHAT DOESN'T DODGE FIX THE PROBLEM, AND REIMBURSE DURANGO OWNERS FOR THE REPAIR BILLS! *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR ALSO. MY DURANGO SHUTS OFF WITH OUT WARNING. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN THE MOST WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN OR FOR A LIGHT. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE SHE FEARS FOR HER AND OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY. I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR THE SOLUTION AND NO BODY HAS ONE.
