: the contact stated while driving 75 mph on the interstate, the engine stalled without warning. Afterwards, the engine restarted without further incident. The vehicle was driven to a dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem. Although the stalling problem did not persist, the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop who determined the crank cam sensor needed to be cleaned. Afterwards, the check engine light illuminated again. The manufacturer was alerted.
