About two years ago my 98 Buick Regal began stalling while driving. It has stalled on the interstate numerous times as well as in intersections. Also at times it will simply not start. I have had a full tune up and get the car serviced regularly, but 4 different mechanics, even a Buick mechanic can't determine the problem. This is an incredible safety problem and I am very surprised no recall has been set up because with a quick search you can locate hundreds of complaints with the exact same problem. This needs to be addressed and fixed by Buick and NHTSA.
I just purchased the car used exactly a little over a year ago. The brake light on the dash board came on for a couple seconds and went off. Then next day after the brake light situation the check engine and entire dashboard came on while driving in a residential area. And caused the car to stall. Which thankfully I was able to pull over and did not cause an accident. The vehicle did start back up. And I took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle they could not find anything on the codes for the brake or engine problem ( which I had to pay $112) . I said there has to be a reason even though the codes aren't showing. So they looked at the fuel pump system, fluids, and checked my brake pads. And still found no problems. They could not offer any other solution. So the next day I drove the car in the same area and the car once again stalled and good thing I didn't cause an accident was able to pull over. So the problem still remains. I see many complaints regarding this stalling situation I do believe this should be a defect for investigation in order to recall. As it it can cause serious potential accidents.
The vehicle stalled without warning, the dealer stated the crack sensor and the fuel sensor were the problem.
Vehicle stalls with no prior warning. Dealership told consumer that problem has been resolved. But problem still exists.
From standing stop, car either hesitates violently or stalls. Dealers cannot duplicate and have not even attempted repair.
Started engine ok; drove 2 blocks to major intersection; accelerated from stop sign into 35 mph traffic to merge with traffic; engine stopped while merging; all dash lights came on; could not restart engine; coasted to stop blocking lane and intersection; could not restart; had to be towed to dealer; after several days, dealer indicated that fuel pump fuse had opened; dealer decided to replace fuse and install new pump, but did not know real cause of open fuse; ordered pump; vehicle still disabled after 5 days.
Vehicle continues to stall after stops even after fuel pump relay and resistors have been replaced. Nlm.
Consumer complaint concerning 1998 Buick Regal's computer malfunctioning. The consumer has had a new computer installed and the computer flashed. Now the vehicle is exhibiting signs of computer failure again.
Car stalls after coming to a stop and then pushing gas pedal. Dealer claims that a wiring harness needed to be re-routed. Reading the complaint database I see this is a more common problem than was told. If it is the wiring harness, then okay and the defect should be recalled. If this is not the cause of the stalling then I don't know what I will do.
Vehicle experiences continued problems with stalling. Mjs.
