cheryls Posted September 9, 2025 Report Share Posted September 9, 2025 Hi, I'm new and this is my first post. Can anyone please give me some suggestions on where to order a discontinued part? I have a 2010 Dodge Journey SXT 3.5L. I took it to the local Dodge Dealer and after spending a lot of money there thinking they fixed it, they are now telling me that I need to find a part myself (which I've never done). They said the part is obsolete and they can't find it. I can be driving the Journey and it just cuts off. I never know when it's going to happen and don't feel safe driving it. They say the part is a camshaft sensor, part 5029808AD. I bought one at the local parts store and they said it was the wrong kind. It has to be manufactured by Dodge and they mentioned MOPAR. I looked on ebay as suggested and didn't see anything. I'm not able to walk around a junkyard and wouldn't even know how to take it off the vehicle if I did find it. Please share any suggestions or names of places that you have found parts. I greatly appreciate it. I'm in Fredericksburg, VA.

2late4u Posted September 9, 2025 Report Share Posted September 9, 2025 check e bay ??????? only other advise since you are not sure about which part you need would be go to a reliable engine shop in your town and tell them all your info and hope they can find the right part and installed it for you,,dealerships don't like to use aftermarket parts or used parts due to warranty problems and everything ass with the search where as a local shop is more up their alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheryls Posted September 12, 2025 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2025 Thank you for your suggestion. I spoke to a local shop and they said they can get an aftermarket part, so I plan on going that route. Seems like my only option after numerous phone calls and no luck otherwise. Now the hunt will be on for two headrests for the middle seats, someplace other than the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted September 12, 2025 Report Share Posted September 12, 2025 Auto parts recyclers are often linked on LKQ web site. Good option for interior parts. Color match sometimes an issue. My only concern with cam sensor change is, did dealer properly diagnose problem. Was the 3.5 looked after with regular oil changes. If cam shaft metal lobes worn from dirty oil/high milage, the cam sensor is only reporting what it sees. Could be bigger problem. Hope Im wrong. When was timing belt changed, recently ?
