Whenever I am driving my vehicle for an hour it starts to stall or sputter in traffic and the engine dies completely. It will restart but still continues to hesitate when accelerating. I've taken it to a mechanic and no error codes pop up when this happens so they do not know the cause or how to fix the issue.

The car was very noisy at start up. Had the oil changed, the noise was better for a while but came back in less than 2 months and now it is constant. The car will stall out in the middle of driving. I will lose everything, electrical and power steering. This would happen whether or not on a highway or during city driving. Engine light came on and I took it to my mechanic. Mechanic told me it was in reduce power mode. Camshaft coralation code.
The car stalls when shifting gears. At first, it was only when I was stopped then began to drive and the car was shifting into first gear. However, it recently got worse. I was recently on the freeway and when I reached 60 mph, it stalled, began to shake, and decrease in speed. It wouldn't let me accelerate. Once I got off the freeway and reached under 10 mph, it began to work again but still stalled every time it shifted gears. I've taken it to the dealer and they say they can't find anything wrong with it.

My brake pedal is sticking causing my car to stall and my cruise control not to work, I have to manually pull my break pedal back up after I use my brakes while driving.

It has happened over a handful of times in the last 3 weeks, it's gotten to the point that I am scared to drive it anywhere.

I was driving about 35 mph and was coming into an intersection in which I needed to turn. Stoplight turned red, so I stopped. As soon as I stopped, the car just died. Would not restart. Had to call a tow truck. My daughter was in the car! we could have seriously been hurt. Someone please figure out what is going on. Have had my car at dealer before and mentioned stalling, but nothing has been done. Will be having it towed back in Monday.

I first got my car with 20k miles on it. Drove it for a month and the stability control warning came on. The car stalled and I had to restart it, only for it to do it a couple more times. Very scary!!! this needs to be taken care of, as I bought a lemon! took it to the dealership as it was under warranty and they said they fixed it. Happened again a few months later! apparently they didn't fix it. Gm needs to identify the problem and recall this, as I see more and more complaints of the same thing! class action needs to be filed otherwise.
