 On my 1992 dodge dakota (v8 5.2l with at, 4x4) the engine quits intermittently, sometimes while parked idling and other times while driving. it does it without warning, as if the key is turned off. sometimes it starts right up again and other times it will have to crank for a while before it starts. i've had it to 2 different mechanics and they can't determine the cause. all sensors have been replaced as well as a new fuel pump and the problem is still there. truck has just over 50,000 miles on it. i've had it for about 5 years and the problem started about a year ago. it's very dangerous especially when it happens in traffic or on the interstate

 2 issues-the power train-i don't think it was ever fixed as my gearshift lever indicator is not in the gear it indicates-can this still be fixed under the recall-2nd problem-i can be driving down the road and the truck just shuts itself off without warning-sometimes it will restart after sitting a few minutes but yesterday i had to have it towed with my 74 yr. old mother-i have been on the freeway and had the shutdown occur-i believe this is a safety concern-i am not the first owner but the guy i got it from told me about this issue after i had bought it -i thought the fuel filter may be plugged and had a complete tune-up-still the problem continues-is there any other complaints on this vehicle-thanks barb *tr
