Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) 2004 dodge intrepid sxt VIN: [xxx] car kept shutting down while driving and "bucking" at times. I brought the car to be repaired on 03/07/2008 and the dealer replaced cam shaft position sensor, natural vacuum leak detection switch and canister assy and oxygen sensor. Car started bucking. I brought the car in to be repaired on 10/30/2008 and the mechanic replaced the transmission solenoid. I had to replace the oil pan on 11/06/2008. I found out the oil pan made of thin aluminum. When the oil pan was ordered by the mechanic it was on national backorder by dodge. Car started to shut down while driving again. I brought the car in to be repaired and the mechanic changed the cam shaft position sensor again. I received a recall notification from chrysler - emissions recall j18. The recall states the catalytic converters may become damaged from continued operation in "limp-in" mode following a camshaft position sensor fault. I called chrysler and was told the recall had been put on hold. My car started to shut down again while driving and I could not drive it above 40mph otherwise when braking the transmission would go from 3rd gear to 1st gear (skipping 2nd gear). I brought the car in to be repaired on 03/04/2010 and the car is still in the shop. So far, the mechanic replaced the camshaft position sensor, transmission solenoid and now believes the computer is no good.

On 11/18/04 my vehicle stalled after crossing 3 lanes of traffic on a heavily traveled street. I managed to get the vehicle to a side street before I was completely unable to maneuver it, where I was able to start it again. The vehicle was towed to a dealership and the cam sensor was replaced the next day. Ihave had no problems until approximately 01/28/05, when the vehicle starting having a hesitation when I accelerated. Today (2/1/05) I got in my car to run an errand and the check engine light was on, which immediately alarmed me. I took the vehicle to a parts store and had them do a check, the results were: the cam sensor. This makes 2 times in 10 weeks that I have had to take my vehicle in to be serviced. I am currently drivinga borrowed vehicle until mine is "fixed".
