Consumer Description

VEHICLE DIES WITH NO NOTICE, PROBLEM IS PCM. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL YEARS OF THE DODGE PRODUCTS. THE PCM FAILS AND THE CAR CAN LOSE POWER WHILE IN OPERATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR CAN LOSE POWER WHILE OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT ANY SPEED! DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. A REPLACEMENT PCM IS REPORTED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. SOME COMPLAINTS INDICATE THAT IT'S AN OVERHEATING ISSUE, HOWEVER MINE STALLS AND DIES IN VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. USUALLY, I CAN UNPLUG THE CONNECTORS TO THE PCM AND PLUG THEM BACK IN TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE VEHICLE WILL START AND RUN AGAIN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS SO UNPREDICTABLE, THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE ON THE ROAD. *KB
