Hello my i am disapointed this is the 3rd cam shaft sensor ill have to replace after much research this is a common error on whoever designed this in result car can shutsown while driving leaving you with no control or perhaps when starting vehicle willll not stay running why isnt there a recall to fix this poblem for intake manifold

I was driving in a small neighborhood and i hear a very distinct ticking noise coming from the front passenger side, after i looked at the area i noticed that the exhaust manifold bolts and heat shield were broke . this can cause exhaust fumes to come into the car while driving and should be taken care of.

My dodge dakota with the 4.7 engine races all the time. when i first start it, it races and it also does it when shifting gears. when i go from one gear to another i have to put it in neutral until it stops racing and then put it in either reverse or forward. it also does this when i come to a stop sign or red light it races and i have to push harder on the break pedal to keep it from going forward until it comes down to normal speed. i don't know how many times i came close to hitting the person setting in front of me from the engine racing. *tr

Engine shuts off when turning right at 90 degree angle and must be put into park and restarted. *tr
