Engine stops running are random times. Won't restart for about 20 minutes. Very unsafe condition. Dealer says they cannot replicate the occurrence, but wouldn't come check out the vehicle when it stalled 1 mile from their dealership.

While driving in heavy traffic, it just stops running. My husband puts the car in neutral and is able to start it back up again. It has done it a few times since that occurrence. This could result in a very serious situation if the car stalls in an intersection and won't restart. The car also has a security issue that prevents us, as the owner from starting it. This has been an ongoing problem from the purchase date. If you turn on the ignition and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, it will start up. We now leave the car running when filling the car with gas because we have had to sit and wait for it to restart at the pump. This could cause a very serious problem also. If you go on line, you will see numerous complaints about both of these problems. We bought this car used and knew we would be responsible for some issues, but not this, it should be a recall issue. We have had to replace the rack and pinion (very costly) all new brakes and rotors, all new tires, and some other minor issues. I feel, as do numerous other gm owners, this is a factory defect in the security system (passlock key system), causing both problems. Anyone having this problem, should be able to take the car to the dealership and they should have to fix it at no cost to the owner of the vehicle. I took it to the dealership just after we purchased it and he said he would have to replace the ignition and something else at a cost of almost $800. I am certain this can be taken care of by rerouting wiring in the security system at a very minor cost, or just resetting the computer system. Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Vehicle stalled out / stopped while traveling down the road. It has done it twice now. This car is fully equipped with cruise control and traction control. After the first time (three days ago) we took it to a dealer and they could not find any code (s) and or replicate it. It just happened again today. Both times the car started right up. This could be a disaster at high speeds on an interstate. Thank you. The consumer stated the vehicle stalled for a third time. The dealer ran it for codes and immediately, it came back as a problem with the mass air sensor. It was replaced and so far, there have been no more problems. Updated ivoq 08/01/12.

My car would randomly turn off while driving on the streets and on the middle of the highway going 55 miles per hour, or while stopped at a light . The car would stall up to 3-4 times per day most of the time and as time went on it got worse. I replaced the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, the battery, the fuel filter, the ignition switch, and the car still turns off in the middle of nowhere. The last time it happened was when my wife was driving to work the car stalled a few yards away from a railroad crossing (since she quit driving on expressway), luckily it didn't happen on tracks, no train was coming at that time. She had to wait approx. 25 mins for it to start after trying a few times. The next day the same thing happens but this time it didn't turn on, so she called the dealership and they sent a tow truck. The tow truck driver, when he arrived approx. An hour later, tried to start it but it didn't start either. So, when arrived at the dealership they tried starting it and by then it started. The shop manager, whom I had related this incident to was aware of the situation, so he then assigned a mech to stand by the analyzer monitor while the engine was running. They kept the engine running until it finally died on them again, while the mech was still there, I don't know how long (didn't ask). At this particular time the analyzer indicated that the crankshaft position sensor was the cause of the stall. Needless to say it was replaced and is now a month later and it's running just fine. Not a hint of stalling nor anything else. My concern is that anything can happen on a highway from a car that turns off randomly due to the crankshaft position sensor.

Vehicle stalled intermittently at any speed. Vehicle had been to dealer on four separate occasions, and they were unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle has stall a total of eight times. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on four occasions but no codes were found during testing.
