What owners say
While driving the at 30 MPH, smoke started to come out from the exhaust pipe. Following this the vehicle started hesitating to accelerate, jerking forward, then stalled. The vehicle was towed to an engine specialist, who indicated that a rod had been thrown and the engine was destroyed. This may of been caused by a misfiring of a sensor. Prior to this incident the engine was replaced at 65000 miles.
Consumer complained about engine problems, including the cam shaft sensor and flywheel sensor. Once all parts were replaced; however, the engine ran rough, and the oil light came on. The piston rods caused the engine to run rough. A loud knocking noise was heared. Eventually, engine shut down.
While driving 45 MPH, the engine made a knocking sound, then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, the engine had to be replaced. *ak the engine lost power and stated to run rough. (complete failure while making a left turn) per mechanic, the engine failure was caused by a defective lubricating system. *scc
In and out of morlans, inc (dodge dealer) several times because of the electrical sytem causing the check engine light to come on with many different codes such as rough idle-transmission not shifting /down shifting-transmission control module replaced-camshaft sensor replaced-ignition coil pack replaced-these were done while still under warranty at different dates. Just recently 3/25/01 my transmission went into a limp mode again at 40,000 miles-this time it was a transmission input speed sensor (my cost $92.00), when I got my car back now my heater- A/C and rear defrost control / vents don't work ? Diagnosed problem electrical (charged $50.00) again with the control head / board control module. I've made several calls to the chrysler corp. Without avail for assistance. Please give any help possible to correct these electrical defects. Thank you.
Engine light comes on then vehicle runs rough and won"t run above 40 m.p.h. Car has been to dealer on five occasions with multiple parts replaced but it hasn"t solved the problem.
