Crankshaft Position Sensor Problems of Honda CR-V

I bought a 2018 Honda Cr-v (1. 5l turbo engine) in August. It only has 1700 miles, but so far it has stalled on me 3 times (while driving). The first 2 times, I was under 25 mph and it started stalling. Several lights were flashing on the dashboard cautioning engine failure, brake failure, tire pressure failure, etc. The car was making pinging noises while these lights were flashing and it wouldn't drive any longer. I had no choice but to pull over to the side of the road and wait for a tow truck to take me to the dealership. The 3rd time this happened, I was going almost 40mph and it stalled again (same as before). The car was also shaking and stuttering while simply sitting idle. Honda said that the crank shaft sensor (cpk) was defective and replaced it. . . However, that did not fix the problem. When I asked Honda if this stalling issue was related to articles describing the ongoing problems with this make/model (in recent years), they refused to acknowledge it and said they couldn't comment because it wasn't a "Honda article". I'm sure I'm not the only customer that has come to the dealership with this problem. . . Yet, they refuse to address that it's a serious problem. They also have not declared a recall. This is a serious life-threatening safety hazard. When the car stalled, I wasn't on the expressway, but on local roads; however, I don't feel safe driving this car anymore. I have no idea when it's going to stall again. Honda has given no assurances that they know what the problem is or can even fix it.

I was driving down a steep hill about a block from my homewhen all of the "trouble" lights came on. I immediately tuned around and the engine power was so low that I barely made it the block home. I parked and called Honda service. Whe I found out that since my car had 47,000 miles on it and Honda towing would cost $160, I had the car towed by a local service for $100 to the dealer. When I called the dealer on the following Monday (it happened on a Friday or Saturday), they informed me that the mechanics could not reproduce the problem by starting the car. No attempt was made to drive it. The company informed me that there was corrosion between the engine wire harness and the sensor connector. The parts to replace were the crank sensor connector, the o ring, and intake manifold gasket. This cost $1002.
