THE COMPUTER "PM MODULE" AND RELATED COMPONENTS KEEP FAILING ON MY NEW 2002 DODGE INTREPID. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DIED RIGHT IN THER MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT 60MPH. THIS PUT ME DIRECT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. THE PMMODULE CONTROLS THE IGNITION COILS AND THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL INJECTORS AND THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM 3 OTHER TIMES AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR HAS NOT YET FULLY BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM JUST THE AFTER EFFECTS. *AK
