Consumer Description

ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN SNOWY CONDITIONS ON 2 LANE PORTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. BY THE TIME I COASTED TO A STOP WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES I WAS ON AN OVERPASS WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC, SO ENDED UP BLOCKING ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. OBD II CODE READER SHOWED NO CODE ERRORS. REPLACED FUEL FILTER. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING NHTSA SITE AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE INTERNET FOUND IT MIGHT BE THE CKP (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR). TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL VERIFIED IT WAS THE CKP. QUOTED PART AND LABOR TO BE $300 - $500. SAVING UP MONEY FOR REPAIR. *NM
