Car has 77,000 miles on it. The check engine light came on. Codes were read it is the crank position sensor and camshaft position sensor seems the only recall for this was the crank position sensor that was reprogrammed, not replaced. There seems to be thousands of complaints on this issue. It seems a recall needs to be done on replacing the sensor not just reprogramming. *tr

Service engine soon indicator illuminated on dash and has remained lit. Dealer reprogrammed ecm only for stalling and jerking to continue, and service engine soon indicator to re-illuminate within 24-hours of initial "fix."…
