My vehicle was stationary in my garage when I started to leave for work when the car began to shake, and the engine turned off. I restarted the car, and the check engine light, which was not previously on, now was, and my airbag light indicator was on as well. Since this time, my shifter cable has broken, and the brake light switch has malfunctioned. To try and remedy this, I have purchased and replaced my ignition coils, spark plugs, brake lights, shifter cable, crankshaft position sensor, the master power window switch, and fuse plugs. And this still has not fixed the issues occurring with the vehicle.

My 2005 Hyundai Tucson (2. 7l v-6 4wd) has for the last 1. 5 years has been: 1. Stalling out 2. Running very rough with no power (especially when raining or after several days of rain) 3. Cranks over but doesn't start 4. Engine quits running on highway (leaving us stranded on route I-80). All intermittently!
I have had the car in a repair shop where they replaced the ignition coil pack assembly (6/2011). Then it failed again but not long enough to get something diagnosed, so I drove it just knowing someday it was going to happen again. Finally it failed again (1/1/2012) this time long enough for me to get the code/s from the ecm. It had a hard crankshaft position sensor failure. Then it ran fine. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and upon removal and inspection the sensors three wires were bare. The outer insulation covering all three wires was not only gone but the individual wire insulation was also missing (about 3" of bare copper wire). A quick look of some websites turned up photos of four other crankshaft position sensors that looked the same (missing insulation/ wires shorting) all coming from Hyundai Tucson's. In my opinion this is a very very dangerous situation. Looking at other ntsb complaints for 05, 06 Tucson's turns up nearly 60 other stalling engine; running rough; engine cuts off; type complaints.
