the TPS wiring going bad is a common thing with these cars. Usually it will throw a P 0123 code, but some times it wont. Its caused by bad wiring, either they get frayed and short or the wire on the inside falls apart and creates a bad connection leading to excessive resistance. Normally a good way to really narrow it down is to wiggle to wires and see if it gets worse. The dealer just replaces the whole harness, there are some DIY fixes in the How To section that save you a trip to the dealer. I havnt heard of them going bad again after replacing the harness, just something that alot SRT-4s have gotten. DCX has issued a TSB for the problem as well.

 

o ok apreciate it

 

To answer your original question, sensors will go bad naturally. Imagine that you a a plastic block with wires. After a shitload of heating and cooling cycles, combined with the natural vibration of a motor coupled with bumps in the road, you would just give up the ghost, too.

And you have to realize that some parts do come from the factory as a bad part. It happens.
