Car Stall Problems of Buick Regal - part 1

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.

For the past year my vehicle is consuming a large amount of oil. I have to add 2. 5 quarts after 1500 miles or so. General maintenance is always done. It will stall at stop lights or stop signs. We have changed the cam shift sensors and solenoids due to the codes thrown. My vehicle is still using 4 quarts before 3,000 miles. I have been at a stop light on highway 34 and my car just stopped when I went to accelerate. I was in peoria at a stop light going up hill and my car stalled 4 times before I could get it to start. All my gauges just drop. My oil life does not read properly it always says I'm over 50%. I check my oil regularly just to try and prevent any other issues coming arise.

If I use my blinkers, all the warning lights in my dash cluster will light up for a few seconds, and I could feel my brakes pulse. This morning my car stalled when I made a right hand turn. I managed to pull over and restart the car, but I didn't use the blinkers again. This really scared me, as I was just on the freeway a few minutes earlier.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2001 Buick Regal experienced stalling . The vehicle also experienced sudden acceleration. The service dealer was unable to find the problem.

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.
