2 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2008

Purchased 2006 Dodge Durango June, 2007 August, 2007-vehicle started violently jerking -engine light came on-was told it was the cam sensor. Instrument cluster also defective and replaced. Electrical problem, causing door locks to malfunction replaced. December 6, 2007, car jerking again-engine light came on - drove it to the dealership - was told it was the transmission- front pump and torque converter replaced. December 18, 2007 mileage not reading accurately-told that the instrument cluster that was installed in August was ?faulty?. Replaced again. January 2, 2008, vehicle violently jerking again- dying in the road, if over 40mph. Engine light on-dealer replaced the cam sensor. -very hesitant that my car was become a threat. February 22, 2008, vehicle jerking, then died on the road at 45mph -able to start it, drove to the dealer-was told it was the pcm. Pcm replaced -cam sensor also. Complained to Chrysler, trying to get answers for this ?lemon?. Was told this time that they were 100% they fixed the problem. Dealer gave me written ?good will? extended warranty on my vehicle for 5,000 extra miles. April 15, 2008. Traveling 45mph- car started violently jerking again and died in the middle of the highway. Power steering gone- struggled to veer of and slow down, losing control. This time, a bus was behind me and swerved, laid on the horn and avoided hitting me. Was able to make it to the shoulder of the road-called the dealership. Towed my car. Have had enough of this vehicle -will not put my family in danger one more time!!!! . Need to be free and clear of all financial responsibility of this car. Dealer now tells me that they are ?hard-wiring? the pcm directly to the cam sensor. They told me that there is a ?glitch? within the wiring that they will simply bypass by putting in a direct connection, thus manipulating original wiring codes. . I will not put myself and 3 children in this situation again, and refuse to pick up my vehicle!.
