Failure has occurred 8 times over the course of 6 months. Is intermitent. Have located 6 other related complaints on website (8006686, 865102, 876204, 891030, 891223, 891505). Dealer first determined code, needed to upgrade computer. Now, new code indicates faulty crankcase position sensor. When engine dies, no indication on dashboard. Lost power steering and brakes. This is a major safety hazard.
