Oldsmobile Aurora stalling problems

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. In addition to this, the steering column makes an audible click noise when turning past the 12 o'clock position anytime the steering wheel is cranked, it does not happen sometimes, it happens every time. This is most likely do to poor lubrication of a bearing or joint in the steering column. The service stability system light comes on and vehicle chimes as well but the ESC works as it should, no matter the driving conditions it comes on, most likely a faulty circuit board.

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 miles on the car and the problem no longer occurs. I went online and found 20 other owners who reported the same issues at the following website: http://repairpal.com/stalling-due-to-ignition-module-or-crankshaft-position-sensor-failure-144 I believe that a service bulletin should have been issued at minimum.

Service engine light came on; auto drove rough-problem getting up to speed, and when stopped felt like it was going to stall. Steering and turning makes a noise and feels like there is no power steering. The cost to reach the part in the center of the transmission is the same as replacing the transmission. I no longer drive my car, and the cost quoted to repair it was $3,400-which I don't have. The code was po741.

Had lots of problems, A/C compressor failed 3 years ago during warranty, then there was short circuit in steering wheel that was replace, soon after fuel gauge sensor went haywire this required changing the sensor, fuel pump as well as fuel tank ( probably the dealer cheated by doing all this work, filed complaint to both gm and attorney general's office),oxygen sensor went bad, one day all turn signals stated flashing while just parked, replaced sensors and wiring, then again turn signal sensor went bad, soon after starting ignition sensor had to be replaced since starting was hard, then came the electronic key failing that needed both the key & lock replacement,now still at times the key refuses to start the car, started to see radiator leak that is quite mysterious I.e, after a few weeks level goes down but can not find the source, rear window control failed , dash board lights went out that needed removing the entire panel & replacing bulbs, now the big problem of low speed stall on the road I.e. It stalls in slow traffic or while stopped at light or taking slow turn, filing a full report with gm again for recalling all aurora's from road else be responsible for accidents & even deaths, classic example of producing a bad quality high end luxury car. My other 10-15 yrs old cars are running far better than this lemon car.

Car keeps stalling. Especially in winter. Strong gas odor in vehicle. Noticed fuel spraying over engine while try to put coolant in car. Recently got a notice for recall on fuel rail. Dealership said fuel line is the reason for leak. Was unable to do recall repair unless line is replaced first. Line isn't covered in recall thought it should be.
