Consumer is requesting reimbursement for the repair work performed on her 2000 Buick Regal - safety recall 09047. The consumer received a safety recall letter in the mail. She took the vehicle to the dealer for the recall on may 18, 2009. On may 27, 2009 the vehicle stalled and almost caused an accident. The vehicle started up again after a 5 minute rest. The next day, the vehicle stalled 4 separate times while driving, the last stall took a wait of 20 minutes. The consumer took the vehicle back since the vehicle started stalling after the safety recall was performed. The consumer was told a new ignition switch was needed, but declined the repairs. The consumer went to her personal mechanic to have the vehicle inspected. The mechanic stated the engine wiring and ignition were all ok. The mechanic did find 2 plug wire separators on the front of the engine and spark plug wires were routed wrong, he also found the battery was installed on electrical wires leading to the fuse panel. The mechanic explained to the consumer that the spark plug caps were replaced and re-routed incorrectly, and the spark plug separator wires were all mixed up, which caused the spark plugs to misfire resulting in the vehicle stalling. The consumer is requesting reimbursement on the grounds that the mechanic should have been more careful and did the replacement correctly when performing the recall.
2000 Buick Regal stalls while driving my 2000 Buick Regal has died multiple times in the last week as I was driving. The engine quits in as little as five minutes, but might take longer, and always happens as I am decelerating (foot off the accelerator, applying brake). Cranking causes the engine to fire, but not enough to keep running. It might take up to twenty tries to get it running again. En route to my mechanic, driving slowly and gently, the car would not stall. The mechanic road tested the car, and made it stall. Initially, error codes p0300, p0463, p1096, p0103 and p0128 were read. The older battery was replaced and the positive cable serviced. The ecm was reprogrammed (cost: $100!), and the Regal ran well for a day. Shortly thereafter, it began dying as before, and was returned to the shop. Since then, it has been in his shop for four days, engine idling with test equipment attached. When it dies, it starts up immediately, and no error codes are present. He is at a loss.
