Engine Failure Problems of Plymouth Voyager

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.

Engine failure occurs after driving for 25 to 90 minutes. Failure would occur ramdomly regardless of season, weather, or temperature. First indication of failure would be a loss of power and reduction in speed. The engine would not respond to increases of throttle position. The rate of loss of speed would increase till the vehicle was hardly moving. There would be bucking and backfiring through the intake. The check engine soon dashboard warning light turns on. Engine stalls and will not restart. Has happened in 2003 4 times and on 1/16/04, 1/23/04 and 1/30/04 the last after replacing ecm (computer).
