Crankshaft and camshaft position sensors can leak oil into the connector causing Check Engine Light illumination. The engine may also stall as a result. Leaking sensors should be replaced. Certain 2000-2003 models were recalled for a separate camshaft and crankshaft sensor issue. For more information on the recall please click here»

    The car stalls while I'm driving. This happened 5 times. The first time it happened I was taking kids to school. The mechanic told me it was the crankshaft sensor and that it happens a lot with these cars. Why isn't the 1.8 recalled too if they are having the same problems with the 2.5???

    Today my car was having problem starting. And after you drive a little it would stall. I believe my problem has to do with this crankshaft and/or camshaft sensors.

    Car would die inconsistently in around town driving situations, but would always start up again. Went for several weeks with no problem, then problem started to occur on a more consistent basis.

    Dealer easily diagnosed problem and fixed for about $200.00
