I had the timing belt on a 2001 Subaru Legacy replaced. After getting the car back, it was misfiring, and eventually the engine shut down. Dealer diagnosed faulty crankshaft sensor.

Anybody else have this experience?

It's hard to prove fault in these cases but the timing belt change requires removing the crankshaft pulley. So the mechanic would have had to have at least seen its condition. More likely, he damaged the pulley in the process of replacing the timing belt. Maybe he used an impact wrench when he reinstalled it and the key wasn't aligned correctly?
