The crank and cam sensors have caused the vehicle to stall out while driving or being stopped. I have seen several complaints online regarding this issue in my car and other gm cars. How many complaints have you received for this issue in gm cars.

I stalled on a freeway on ramp, at a stop sign and while being parked on the side of the road.
