Consumer Description

ON MY 2005 DODGE DAKOTA IT RANDOMLY SHIFTS IN AND OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS OCCURS EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED. I DISCONNECTED THE SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE CABIN AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. MY MECHANIC PINPOINTED THE PROBLEM TO THE CRANK CASE POSITION SENSOR. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER FOR A REPLACEMENT PART HE WAS TOLD THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THEY DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE RELEASED. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE OF A SAFETY DEFECT. *TR
