1 Crankshaft Position Sensor problem of the 2016 Ford Focus

Failure Date: 10/07/2017

Just filled my gas tank up then as I left the gas station got about 1 mile up the road then while sitting at a stoplight I turned the ac on and idle dipped, car felt like it was going to die(which it did) then as I tried to re-start, cel came on and car would not start. About 2 more times and it fired up along with a service engine soon message . . . Luckily for me I was a block away from future Ford Lincoln where I originally purchased the vehicle. 3 days later I got a call saying my vehicle was ready for pick up. I get there and they tell me that the reason was due to I had a aftermarket power wire routed over engine assembly causing electrical interference. So they disconnected what I payed a local professional audio shop $140 to install 2 days after I got the car. So, long story short, I get in the vehicle only to see that my fill up @ the gas station was gone. . . They used damn near 3/4 of my tank of gas put over 100 miles on my car and I get 2 blocks away from the dealer and at the same light. . . . . **** happens again!!!! took it right back to the dealer. Just got my car back after 13 days in the shop and I couldn't be more pissed! 4th time I have gone to pick it up after hearing that they fixed the problem only to get in the car, drive it, and have it happen yet another time! they even tried to tell me it was my right front axle causing the problem this time around. ( I just had the left front axle replaced 2 months back at another dealer) throwing grease on a crank sensor causing my cel with dtc "p0106, p0236, p0340, p0344,p0365, p051b, p0532, p06a7, p08a9, p08b9" . . . Bla bla bla. . . They don't know what the problem is but they keep wanting to tell me they found the problem! what a waist of both our time. Now the car is in my driveway, wont start, throwing about 8 to 12 codes and im waiting to hear from Ford customer care.
