Consumer Description

WHILE GETTING ON INTERSTATE MY CAR WOULD NOT GO BUT ONLY 30 MPH THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR DIED. GOT MY CAR STARTED AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES. TOOK IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THEY SAID IT WAS CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR; SO I REPLACED IT. 6 MONTHS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. I REPLACED IT. NOW EVERY 2 TO 3 MONTHS THE SENSOR GOES BAD AND THE PEOPLE AT ADVANCE SAY SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULDN'T BE GOING THROUGH THAT MANY SENSORS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. I AM SCARED THAT IT IS GOING TO DIE AND I WILL BE HIT. *TR
