Engine stalled suddenly on several occasions while during low speed, at idling or at a constant speed as a result with full loss of power, braking, and steering. Car did start back up fine, but would eventually exhibit same behavior again along with erratic rpm surges. My local mechanic attributed the problem to a bad crank shaft position sensor cps. He advised I contact the dealer since there is an open recall on this exact part and same issue regarding 2. 7 v6 engine recall #03v030000 I contacted the dealer to discuss and provided my VIN number, however they indicated my vehicle was not part of the recall. My local mechanic replaced the cps sensor as per recall, and confirmed the damaged cps sensor was the original part, and the issue was ultimately resolved.
