Consumer Description

ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING AND AT TIMES WILL NOT START FOR SEVERAL TRIES. AFTER USING A PERSONAL DIAGNOSTIC TOOL I FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS AT 75MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND NO POWER STEERING TO HELP YOU SAFELY EXIT THE ROADWAY WITH MINIMAL BREAKING ABILITY, THIS SHOULD BE A CONCERN AND RECALL! THE PART AT A GM DEALERSHIP IS 110.00 AND THE CHARGE TO GET IT REPLACED IS NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME. *TR
