Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac grand prix. The contact was driving approximately 25 MPH and became involved in a crash. The front driver's side of the vehicle was impacted and the front end caught on fire. The fire department was called and was able to extinguish the fire. The driver of the vehicle sustained a concussion and a back injury. A police report was filed of the incident.
Crank shafts position sensor causes the engine to shut off while driving down the road. Resulting in the loss of power steering, and power brakes. This occurs at all speeds from stop and go traffic at less than 5 MPH to highway speeds of 70 MPH +. This is a very dangerous issue. Adding the recall piece to the key did nothing to remedy the issue. This has been occurring for 2 years now.
