Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY, I WAS APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT. WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TRAFFIC, GOING AROUND 20MPH, MY ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING, OVER-HEATING, OR ANYTHING INDICATION. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RE-START THE CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY TURN, BUT NO IGNITION. I WAITED NEARLY 20 MINUTES OF TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR, WHEN IT FINALLY DID IGNITE AND START. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME (ABOUT 15 MINUTES) WHERE IT THEN DIED AGAIN, JUST OUTSIDE MY PARKING SPACE. THE CAR WAS CHECKED FOR INDICATION CODES AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAME UP AS "MALFUNCTION". *TR
