| Engine 'died' (vehicle lost all power) while traveling at highway speed. i had to pull vehicle over on side of the road with no power assistance steering or braking. brough it to the dealer for service 8/8/12, stalled two more times while enroute. i was told that it is a failed camshaft sensor. i looked up all safety recalls on vehicle, and found one for the crankshaft sensor in 2008. i was told that my failed camshaft sensor is different and is not covered by the manufacturer, even though it produces the same symptom/result as a failed crankshaft sensor. both items perform simarlarly in that they assure correct engine timing, disabling the engine if a failure is detected in either part! i submit that this is a safety issue and should at least be covered by the manufacturer! *tr | |||
