Description of the problem | 2012 dodge durango crew with a v6. Engine died while driving down the highway. I lost power steering and power brakes, but managed to get out of traffic and let it coast to the shoulder. The engine would crank, but immediately die. After a few attempts, the engine began running smoothly. Since then, it will occasionally not start (the starter turns over, but the engine will not run). No codes are displaying when hooked to a computer. A mechanic told me it was the tipm and i would have to take it to a dealer. After looking online, i found many other complaints for the same problem. Engine seems to have a better start record if i turn the key on and wait 2 seconds before starting vs immediately trying to crank the car as soon as i insert the key. Remote start rarely works now. My main concern is the engine dying while my wife is driving in heavy traffic (she is the primary driver). To me, this is a much more pressing issue than the current recalls. |
