Diagnostics show code p0344 cam shaft position sensor. It was repaired under recall j18 in aug 09. Called bob moore dealership (completed recall work) & chrysler recall line. They both say won't repair under original recall. This is the same exact part/problem. Is there any way to get them to honor this? My cruise control shuts itself off, lights dim, and fails to start on occasion.

While accelerating onto the freeway, at approx. 55mph, in very heavy traffic with many big-rigs in the mix, the "check engine" light came on and the car suddenly lost power and began to shudder/miss out when accelerating. I had to quickly navigate over 3 lanes of fast moving traffic to avoid being rear-ended. I was able to drive slowly to a repair shop, but the engine would not rev above 2200 RPM. The service shop has tried 4 times to repair the car, each time replacing various sensors that were indicated by the engine computer. After each repair, the car would run fine for 2-3 days before having the same failure. It is still not repaired. I feel this is a serious safety problem.
