Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON I-10 AND THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND SLOWED DOWN DESPITE MY FOOT STILL BEING ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COASTED TO THE MEDIAN, AND WAITED FOR 3-4 MINUTES, (MOSTLY TO CATCH MY BREATH AS I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT RUN OVER BY SEMI'S) I RESTARTED THE MPH WAS THE NORM) I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND DRIVE TO THE NEXT EXIT. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CONTROL BOARD FOR THE CRANKSHAFT WAS BLOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SEEMS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OTHER DRIVERS AND OWNERS OF A DODGE CALIBER IF IT IS A COMMON DEFECT. 07DODCALIBER/PC684 DODGE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. *TR
