My car started shaking stopped abruptly the middle of the road and I was almost rear ended. I found out that the problem was a 'crank sensor' I have since had it repaired but wanted to report how dangerous this is. I did some research and found that the same make a year had been recalled due to this issue and I was wondering why my VIN # was not. Can you help me so that this issue won't happen again and a reimbursement had well,

Shortly after purchasing my vehicle, I started having problems with it. The traction control light, ABS light and service AWD light came on. The car wouldn't let me accelerate upon the initial acceleration. I would have to either slam on the brakes hard or push the acceleration all the way to the floor. I took it back to where I got it from and they said it was the right front passenger ABS sensor that went bad. They fixed it and it was fine. Here we are 3 months later and the issue is happening again.
