Description of the problem	For several months it has been increasingly hard to keep my vehicle running/in motion when going up steep hills or gradients on all roadways. I took it to a mechanic. He replaced the alternator. The problem continues to get worse. The vehicle can be driven. Sometimes i can ease my foot off the accelerator or restart and the warning light will go off and not come back on. Now the warning lights have started flashing. Sometimes the vehicle starts shaking as though its going to quit running. I have been pulling off the road, turning on flashers and turning off the engine. After a minute i restart the engine and hopefully move on down the road. It's so bad now i'm afraid to drive but it's the only transport we have. I had a diagnostic done and was told it was a camshaft sensor. L looked this up to find out more about it. I found a website that said there was a crankshaft/camshaft recall on the make, model, and and year of my vehicle. The description of the problem the recalled vehicles were having was the same as mine. So i called my dealership service department to discuss this recall to see if they would fix my vehicle. They ran my v. I. N. Number and i was told there was no recall on it. They want me to bring it in for a another diagnostic scan. I asked them to give me a guess as to how much it will cost me. I haven't heard from them yet. I don't understand why the v. I. N. Makes a difference since my vehicle is the same make, model ,and year as ones on recall. I think there should further investigation into other vehicles having this problem. I know of one other person, with same vehicle as mine, who said their vehicle has been acting like mine. I have no other transport. I am worried about others and myself driving a vehicle with this problem. I'm afraid someone will have a wreck. Please investigate this further.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
