| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On my 1999 doge neon the check engine light turned on and my car stalled in traffic at a stop light i was able to start the engine again and took the car to tuffy auto center where he diag the car and reported to me it was the cam sensor and that he would order another one, the sensor arrived and he attempted to in this one and couldn't because the cam sensor he had was flush and the one he removed was recessed. he called around to find this recessed cam sensor and could not locate one , but did find out that the common problem is that the cam itself back out of the engine and damages the sensor causing the engine to stall and needs to be backed down into the engine and will in 40k or less miles do it again this is an engine defect that is costly and me $150 to repair. this should be looked at for reemburstment and recall for repair this is stated as common among mechanics, what can be done??? |
