1 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2005

I have a 1997 Plymouth Voyager. The vehicle has been regularly maintained and has approx. 91,000 miles on it. Approx. 10 days ago, the cam broke and the engine (3. 3 liter) suddenly quit while I was traveling on the highway. Power steering was lost and fortuantely, I was able to coast and bring the car to a stop without power steering or power brakes. Repair required replacement of the engine. I am concerned because two repair shops that I spoke with indicated they have had several similar failures. This seems to be a widespread problem and should be investigated and a sudden engine failure is obviously unsafe.
