My Dodge Dakota died at 65mph on the freeway with no warning or no check engine. Towed to the dealer and he said the PM (computer) was bad. 2 days later I called and he said the replacement was bad an ordered another one. 2 days later I called and he said they were waiting for a coil and the truck would be ready. I wonder if it was the computer or just the coil, if you lost a coil while driving wouldn't the motor die immediatly also. They charged me for the computer and coil. Just wondering if I was charged for a misdiagnoses.
Thanks

Seems to me they misdiagnosed it-Why not check if the computer is brand new it would look obvious or ask for the old one back, thhis will tell the tale
