Consumer Description

I WAS MERGING ON I-271S WHEN SUDDENLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING). I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE SO I SLOWLY MANEUVERED MY CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RE-STARTED,BUT I COULDN'T STILL ACCELERATE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED 25 MILES TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD MY HIM THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THAT THE SENSOR ISSUE IS SERIOUS. WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. BY SHEER LUCK I WASN'T REAR-ENDED AND I DIDN'T LOSE MY LIFE, OR WORSE, MY KIDS.
