1 Crankshaft Position Sensor problem of the 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Failure Date: 02/17/2016

My car stalls while I'm moving! I bought the car from a used lot in Aug 2014, shortly after I received a recall notice. I took the car in to a dealer and the dealer put shells over the keys & supposedly didwhatever else was required in the recall. Shortly after that, I was having a hard time starting the car, I took it back to the lot where I bought it this time. Their mechanic checked it out & determined the crankshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. So they replaced it. Recently my car is having a hard time starting but more importantly, my car will stall while I'm driving! this is scary to be going 25-45 mph and not be able to control my car! this morning I slowed down to turn a corner & it just shut off on me and I could not turn the wheel! caused my to come about 2 feet from hitting a median & almost be rear ended! my kids rode in this vehicle & one or all of us is gonna end up seriously injured or killed! this seems to be a serious issue with these vehicles & it needs to be fixed & quickly! I can't keep praying to have this fixed once a year nor should I have to! this issue needs to be addressed immediately & there should be a recall out regarding this issue!.

Shortly after 36,000 miles, vehicle began stalling intermittently, pcs, abs, ses lights would come one & stay on. Stalling became more and frequent until it began occurring everytime within 120 seconds of cold start (over course of 2,000 -4,000 more miles. Nearly got broadsided by cement truck when vehicle stalled unexpectedly (after already doing its traditional first stall after cold start). Dealer diagnosed and replaced crank sensor. Gm would only pay for part and I was left with diagnosis and labor bill. Dealer would not provide me with defective part. Claimed it belonged to gm. On electrical problem, battery would run down after car left sitting for 3-4 days in cold weather. Would recharge battery and it would be ok. Could not find cause, then finally at about 25,000 miles, battery went bad & would not recharge. Dealer/gm replaced at no cost to me. However, problem continued. Then one evening I noticed that the vanity lights on the sunvisor mirror were illuminated even when sunvisor was completely stowed. Turns out the switch button is not depressing fully to disengage power switch to vanity lamp(s). Dealer would not repair --out of warranty.
