Consumer Description

one week ago or so, I was driving, then I notice the needle grade was moving back and forth, car stared to give me beeps sounds if it was over heating. then the engine light came on and is still on, a recall on cam shaft S89 was done 2017. I have no knowledge of this getting done, there got to be some type of shortage going on, because when i drive the car stalls and feels like a stick shift. CAM ECM SENSOR, I was told by my register mechanic. when he tested it for me it it showed that its a shortage in the wire cam going to the ecm sensor. my car has 42,000 miles on it. I'm not a every day driver., since this pandemic. i paid off my car 2018 or 2019 and she is 6 years old. I strongly feel like this gotta be a manufacturing defect. Dealers wanna charge me $265 dollars to do a diagnostic. which I feel like what the hell. So I'm asking for some clarity in 6years doge cars act up like this. Ihave always brought my cars from dodge and drove it over 18years with never a mess like this. I'm a old lady looking for real honest answers. Other then well its time to buy another car
