I was driving my 2010 Dodge Dakota down the street turning left when the entire vehicle shut down. I lost the engine, steering and brakes. I nearly hit a utility pole by inches. I started the truck up again and started without any issue, the check engine light came on, and I continued to drive down the street, when I went to go make a left hand turn again, the truck completely shut down again. At this point my truck when over and onto a curb, I tried to turn the wheel and brake but had no control (luckily no one was on the sidewalk so there were no injuries). At this point I knew I could not drive the truck and had to call to get it towed. Once at the dealership herb chambers Dodge in millbury, MA they told me it was the crank shaft sensor. I asked if it was a common part to break because of the near accidents I could of had and all they would say is that there is no recall on it. When I said I didn't ask if there was a recall I asked if it is common for this part to break and loose all power in the car he just repeated himself "there is no recall on this part". I have owned a 2006 Dodge Dakota (I had to replace the crank shaft sensor twice) and now my 2010 Dodge Dakota had the same issue. Between my 2 vehicles this part has failed 3 times. I am worried about this part causing accidents, and making drivers not having control of there vehicles. If a sensor fails I don't believe the whole vehicle should shut down it is a major safety issue and puts the drivers, other drivers, and any pedestrians on the street. I also contacted diamler Chrysler about the issue and I received the same response "im sorry there is no recall on this part".

Driving between 35 and 45 mph. The engine shut off, the key had not been touched. The gas gauge dropped to nothing, the only light I noticed on the dash was the current mileage. I had no power steering, no power brakes, I rolled to the side of the road and put on my flashers, put the truck into park, turned the key off and then started the engine. It only failed once but if I was on a highway or in heavy traffic most likely my wife and I would have been in an accident. Miles on truck was aprox. 2,900 miles Dodge Dakota quad cab 4 door, v6 automatic transmission, manufacture date is 5/2007 I called the service department and they said without an engine check light on they may not be able to find the problem. I have a 3:00 pm appointment today. I told him he has 3 tries to fix it.

Loss of engine compression, which resulted in the #3 cylinder misfiring and the check engine light staying on and not able to reset. Vehicle was at the mechanics shop for 2 weeks. After receiving vehicle back, check engine light came on again. When the problem of the #3 cylinder misfire was detected, it was caused by 2 valves being bent, which according to the mechanic was due to a carbon build up in the engine. Vehicle is and always was well maintained and never had any sort of mechanical problem. I am the original owner and purchased new in 2001, only had 63,000 miles on it. According to the dealership parts department, the 4. 7l engine is known for a carbon build up around 50,000 miles or so and the problem that I had was not an uncommon one. Was also advised that was one of the kinks that Dodge never could correct. Gee thanks! I corrected the problem myself, however, I traded it in on a 2006 Toyota tundra. It's no wonder why the american auto industry is in such poor shape!.

On June 5, 2006 the engine light came on in our 2003 Dodge Dakota (approx. 25,500 miles). We took it to the Dodge dealership and they replaced a hose for the fuel line at a cost of approx. $250. On June 7, 2006 the engine light again came on and Dodge said an O2 sensor needed to be replaced (at a cost to us of approx. $300). With in the next 3 weeks our Dodge was in the shop 2 more times (for a total of 4 items in a month) due to the engine light coming on. The last time they told us the O2 sensor that was replaced was faulty and was the problem. This concerns me as the car was 5 weeks over the 3 year warranty so nothing was covered and the service we received at Dodge was the worst I have ever received.

Just bought a Dakota truck 2 wks ago, second day engine light went on and car kept stalling when driving, it completely turned off while driving. It also does not change gear; it takes a while to get going. This happened 1/18/06. On 2/10/06 I noticed an idling sound right after breaking and it didn't want to stop. Very unsafe driving with children. Uncertain of its brakes and the complete shut off of truck & or stalling while driving. I took it to Chrysler and wanted to charge $170. For diagnostic work 2 weeks after I bought it. Why haven't they recalled these type of unsafe vehicles?.

The main bearing was going out and consumer needed to replace engine.
