2 Engine Stall problem of the 2011 Buick Regal

Failure Date: 08/19/2015

The car stalled today after reversing out of my parking spot and shifting into drive. This is the 3rd time in my 14 months of owning the car that this has happened. It only happens right after turning the car on. The steering goes out and the engine stalls, but the electronics remain on, it's a lot like what happens when you run out of fuel but my tank is full. The dealer cannot replicate the issue and will not do anything. They claim they've never heard of this issue before.

3 Engine Stall problem of the 2011 Buick Regal

Failure Date: 05/04/2015

Engine stalling in intersection, and in a parking lot. Was attempting to cross an intersection and car just died, started it again it moved very roughly and died again. It was hot outside and I had the air running. No dtc codes present. It has now happened several more times while just letting off the gas and pulling into a parking spot. It's very random and I am afraid to have my wife or daughter drive the vehicle and have it die in a cross road or intersection. Lots of posts on similar issues, but no recalls from Buick. . . . . Will someone have to die first?.
