Oldsmobile Aurora Engine problems by year

The engine randomly dies or stalls while in traffic at random times and will not turn back on for several minutes, the vehicle is in motion when the stalling occurs and thankfully only on city streets. Codes have not been present but the stalling and idle leads me to believe it is faulty crankshaft position sensors.

The vehicle was parked and once I put it into reverse to back out of the parking space, the engine locked up and the steering, brakes, gas didn't work. I had to take the key out of the ignition and restart it. This is the third time that I've had this issue within the last 3 months and the previous 2 instances occurred while the vehicle was actually moving and accelerating. I have had some extremely close calls that could have ended very dangerously because of this issue. I use my car keys without any other keys...

Driving at any speed, the car would intermittently sputter or shut off, even in a curve. It finally frightened me so much that I reported it to the dealer on 2/12/2009. The dealer charged me $463 plus tax to replace the front and rear engine crankshaft sensors. This malfunction is very similar in nature to ignition failure and could easily lead to injury. My car is a 2001 oldsmobile aurora with the 4.0 V-8 engine. It had 48,000 miles at the time of failure. The replacement parts have worked as I now have 123,000...
