2016 jeep rubicon timing, can, and crankshaft issues.

Just recently had my timing belt and camshaft and crankshaft parts replaced. The mechanic drove it and said everything is good. As I’m driving it home, the cel and traction light comes on. I message him and he tells me this it’s in a drive cycle and ‘can be normal’. I take it up to autozone and pull a p0349, p000d, and a p2638 code.

I text him and bring it back up to him in the mornings I suggest to him after doing some research that maybe the chain isn’t put on right and the camshaft sensor is probably not plugged in right. He told me no, the computer just needed to be retimed. He finishes that, my husband picks it up. About 20 miles later, the cel comes back, he brings it to autozone and pulls another p000d code. Mechanic drives it, cel and traction light comes on. Now all of a sudden this is urgent and not normal.

I’m not sure what he does to it as my husband was there and I wasn’t, but he replaces some part, resets the computer, and tells us it’s all good. I drive it home and on my way home the cel and traction light comes back on. I take it up to autozone, another p0349 code.

Any idea on what this could be? Car is a 2016 jeep rubicon.

I do have this and similar posts posted in other groups hoping to get any answers before I take it up to another mechanic just to get some peace of mind.
