Default Camshaft Position Sensor Failed

The camshaft position sensor on my C6 failed after only 1300 miles, causing a variety of symptoms. It was fixed by the dealer under warranty, of course. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

My crankshaft sensor sent codes at about 1500 miles and my vette would just shut down. I'd pull over, restart and drive for another 100 or so miles. Finally got it to a dealer that had the part and could replace it.

It's an 06 -- just had it a little over 2 months. I was very lucky -- I was on the way back from a weekend trip when it failed, and was only about 3 miles from the dealer's. The engine started to run rough and I noticed that the tach was showing zero. So rather than going home, I drove straight to the dealer and dropped the car off.

Fantastic car, though. A DSOM vert, A6, 3LT, NAV -- just awesome.
