Crankshaft Position Sensor on 2000 996

Who can tell me about the crankshaft position sensor on my 2000 996? My car quit running two times while stopped at intersections. The engine just quit running and wouldn't restart, and the car had to be towed both times. Turns out that the sensor was failing according to the shop. It quit on them and was showing no voltage. So I got it replaced. I'd like to know what causes this sensor to fail. My car has only 59,000 miles on it. Should it be failing with this kind of low mileage?

Also, while I'm asking about sensors. What about the rpm sensor? How long should that last before it fails and what will cause IT to fail? What happens if IT fails?
