The engine stops running while driving or sitting at a stop sign without warning. has happened at highway speeds, city driving speeds and while at a stop sign. same problem as described in recall id: 07v521000. the dealer says my vehicle isn't covered in this recall. why?
I have had several incidents in two weeks that nearly caused serious accidents. i would be driving at various speeds, slow and interstate driving, where the engine would suddenly lose all power and the battery light would come on. i would have to struggle to have the vehicle glide to the service lane without causing an accident. these happened all times of day and all weather conditions and caused hazardous close calls. the vehicle was through diagnostic testing by an independent mechanic found to have a defective crank position sensor. attached for your information is a copy of the invoice which includes the diagnosis and repairs required. reviewing nhtsa complaints this is a serious problem that appears to have happened many times in the past which needs to have a nhtsa investigation and recall. please advise if it would help get this problem addressed if i seek legal, legislative or regulatory relief. i look forward to your response. thank you. *tr
