Engine stalled frequently at any speed without noticed. All power steering and power brakes fail when engine stalls, creating a very serious and dangerous emergency situation. Determined to be failed crankshaft position sensor, original sensor has now been replaced by modified new sensor which was put in service in mid model year 2002.
