Crankshaft Position Sensor Problems of Chrysler 200

Vehicle randomly stalls, reverse and drive. It will stall in traffic, while driving and backing out of the driveway. I had a p0335 code after it stalled about 10 time. I have changed the crankcase sensor 3 times but does not correct the issue. Also have electrical issue with windows not working and only half the defrost working.

Purchased a used Chrysler 200 in February 2017 at 87,xxx mi. It is now June 2017 and 3 times in the last 3 days my car has suddenly died. The first time I was slowing down and made a right turn and upon accelerating it died, dash lights illuminated, quickly tried to restart and was unsuccessful with just nothing happening when turning key. Took key out of ignition and retried and started right up. Next day I was again slowing down and making a right turn and bam same thing same details. 3rd incident I was driving straight and the car stalled this time I was doing about 15 mph and the steering locked up, quickly took key out and restarted. Engine light was on and diagnosed as crankshaft position sensor malfunction. Replaced the sensor and have only driven for short distance as the first 2 times this happened were terrifying enough. After hours of online research I've found this is common and just being neglected. Chrysler fix this issue before someone gets seriously injured.

With no warning, no engine light, on I pulled out into traffic, turning right on a two way road the car went into traffic and suddenly no power. I was lucky to be able to drift on the shoulder. I towed my car to the dealer and was told it was the crank sensor. I asked what caused it, because I had no warning, they said it was probably a short. This could have been very tragic.

While on vacation, I was travelling down a highway at 60 mph. Suddenly the accelerator on my recently leased 2015 Chrysler 200 somehow decoupled with the drive train. The d in my dashboard started flashing and the car began coasting. The engine was on, and I had power steering, but no acceleration. Somehow, without any ability to control my car’s speed, I got to the shoulder without being hit by one of the many 18 wheelers on the freeway. The car had just over 800 miles on the odometer. Eventually the car was towed to a local dealership. They helped me rent a car and I continued my vacation. They replaced a faulty crank sensor and I returned to pick the car up a week later. But before I’d even driven 30 miles, I experienced the exact same problem again. As the d in the dashboard flashed, the car essentially went into neutral and began coasting down the freeway. I almost caused an accident getting to the side of the road. My heart was racing after this horrific and exasperating experience. Chrysler roadside assistance towed the car to a nearby dealership that couldn’t recreate the problem, so the dealership where I bought the car had it returned to them. They kept my car in the shop for a full week, eventually replacing the pmc. I picked up my repaired car, but lo and behold, before I had driven much more than 20 miles, the exact same thing happened for a third time, but this time on a surface road. By this time, I’m out of my mind with fear, indignation and frustration. This is my life. I only have one of them that I know of. I want to extend it as long as possible. The 2015 Chrysler 200 is dangerous and I will never feel comfortable driving it. I’m looking at all the possible ways I can get away from this unsafe and unreliable vehicle.
