ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 TO 65 MPH THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT ON THE DASH BEGINS TO FLASH, THE VEHICLES ENGINE BECOMES ERADIC, SOMETIMES IT DIES, OTHER TIMES IT REVS HARD AND WON'T CHANGE INTO ANOTHER GEAR, ALL CONTROL OF THE FUEL SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE LOST CAUSING A SERIOUS SITUATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS TO THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY, SOME DAYS YOU CAN DRIVE 70 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER DAYS IT WILL GO CRAZY AS DESCRIBED WHEN THE LIGHT FLASHES. WHEN THE VEHICLE DIES ON THE HIGHWAY, IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR STOP IT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 5 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND THE FIFTH BEING A DODGE SERVICE CENTER. THIS DODGE SERVICE CENTER HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 4 WEEKS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FIFTH WEEK AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE THROTTLE BODY WITH TPS SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR REPLACED TWICE, EGR VALVE REPLACED, PCV VALVE CLEANED AND INSPECTED, PCM REPLACED AND RE FLASHED, THE BATTERY REPLACED, ALTERNATOR REPLACED, ALL 4 O2 SENSORS REPLACED AND THE WIRING HARNESS AND ALL CONNECTORS TESTED AND INSPECTED. THE VEHICLE STILL IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT GAVE UP AND TOLD ME TO COME AND GET MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GOT THEM INVOLVED, THEY'RE RESOURCE TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOW FOR 2 WEEKS AND STILL NO ANSWERS AND I STILL HAVE NO VEHICLE.
