2011 GL450 Stalled while driving

I have seen several post regarding this issue. First time it stalled at 65 mph I pulled to the side of the road, after a few minutes it started right up. I was at a 1/4 tank of gas so immediately pulled into a gas station to fill up thinking it was just bad gas because of the way it was sputtering. Thought that was the fix.. at least for a few more weeks. Last week it did it again but this time there was no starting right back up. Had it flat bedded to a dealer for repairs. After three days of diagnostics consisting of a compression test, total electrical trace. they finally figured out that I simply ran out of gas. The On board computer was sending a false signal showing that I still had almost a half tank left.
Still cost $500+ for repairs and towing.

Sounds like a bad crank position sender.
