1999 dodge durango - approx 80,000 miles - 1 owner. On hot days, when outside temp is in mid-80s or above, vehicle stalls and nobus light comes on. Vehicle is currently as chyrsler dealer for repairs, although they don't know what to fix. After researching the internet, I've found atleast 80 pages of the same complaint with the same year/make/model. People are begging for a recall. It is a safety issue. I've contacted chryler twice and have been given the run-a-round.
