“This car has been in twice for a cam position sensor. The first time the part totally failed and left us on the road side on a very dangerous stretch of hwy 101 and was replaced. 1708 miles later the check engine light came on again. The code was p0340 again. We were told that the issue could not be duplicated through a dealer road test and we were charged $190.00 for the diagnostics. The first time this issue occurred, we had brought the vehicle in for a safety recall. When we picked the car up, this was the first instance of the failure of this component. This has caused us grave concern. …”
