    Car died while driving
    I have a 2003 Chrysler Concorde... my car dies out while driving. It doesn't give any warning the steering wheel becomes time and the engine and oil light comes on. I was wondering if this could be a catalytic converter problem. I have replace the cam and the crank sensor. However, Chrysler recently had a recall stating the their could be problems with the crank causing the car to go into limp mode and could eventually ruin the catalytic converter. Please help? I went the dealer did a flash update on my computer and said that it was done. Within 48 hours my car sputter and died out in the process of driving?

    The problem you are experiencing is usually caused by a faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor or a faulty computer. I suspect the latter, in your case.
