My camshaft position sensor on my 2006 Jeep unlimited lj has caused my Jeep check engine light to come on and to have misfire codes, transmission failure codes, and emission sensor codes, causing my Jeep to run rough and may cause further damage to my motor if the problem is not fixed. The codes produced, does not point out my that my camshaft position sensor is the problem but masks the problem with other sensor codes. This has been going on for a while and the dealership couldn't even tell me what was wrong with my Jeep and said they would have to just start with one thing and keep replacing parts till the problem goes away. I am still trying to get the problem fixed and I have an appointment scheduled with a reputable Jeep mechanic at a specialty Jeep shop to try and fix the problem this Wednesday 8/4/2010. Hopefully my engine has not been damaged due to this problem that Chrysler is fully aware of! my mileage is in the 76,000 mile range and I do not know if my drivetrain warranty covers this.

Brand new, 2006 Jeep Wrangler 4x4, less than 5,000 miles on it when driving down the road (first incident,50 mph), engine stalls. Try to restart. . . Pull off to the side of the road, wait about 5 minutes, and the Jeep finally restarts. Second incident, driving down the interstate in rush hour traffic, middle lane, approximately 70 miles per hour, Jeep engine stalls again. Loss of all power, steering components, no dashboard lights or check engine lights flash. Just complete and total loss of power. Almost get rear-ended by several cars before managing to get the Jeep off on the shoulder. Sat on the side of the road for 45 minutes before the Jeep would restart. First dealership I took it to refused to look at it because I didn't have an appointment, and said they could get to it in a week or so. I told them I didn't have an appointment because I didn't know it was going to die, and secondly I wasn't driving a vehicle that was unsafe and I didn't know what was wrong with it. I was then referred to another dealership, where the technician stated he was unable to duplicate the defect. . . So nothing has been fixed and I'm still driving an unsafe car.

I was driving my 2006 Jeep Wrangler rubicon (11,000 miles) on the freeway, when it totally lost power. It literally shut down. I was able coast to the center medium. (this had happened just 4 days before also) I was almost in a crash as I tried to coast to a safe place. When I started the car up, the check engine light came on, and I bought the Jeep to a Jeep dealership near by. They put the car on the diagnostic machine, and on the rack to check it, and told me everything came out fine, and they could not find anything wrong. Needless to say it is a very very dangerous car to drive. It is less than one year old and under warranty.
