The car cut out traveling down the highway with engine light fault and lose of power, brakes and steering. This is a common problem with the crankshaft position sensor (code p0335) and needs dodge to recall on this and fix this lethal fault of complete lose of control at speed. Yesterday was the 3rd time this has happened and I had my family in the car this time...updated 10/23/17 updated 10/25/17 updated 10/30/2017 updated 11/2/2017
