Vehicle stalls and shuts off while driving and idle. sometimes it starts back up immediately, other times it will just crank over but will not start. after letting it sit sometimes 5 to 20 minutes at a time it will then start back up. all research and issues with the vehicle indicate a manufacturer recall of a crankshaft position sensor. the vehicle will stall or shut off at random whether it's in motion down the highway in the middle of a intersection or at a stop sign . i have almost been t-bones due to the vehicle stalling in the middle of the intersection and i have also had to replace my drivers mirror due to the vehicle stalling on the interstate and nearly being hit by another vehicle. *tr
