general problems of the 1999 Cadillac STS

Gm's recall number is 99013.

While driving at various speeds as well as at idle, vehicle shuts off. No power steering, brakes, electric, etc. Vehicle is then difficult to start, must wait several minutes before success. Very dangerous- has happened at highway speeds several times on busy interstate. Date given is just one of at least 8 failures.

: the contact stated while driving at various speeds the vehicle stalls without warning resulting in loss of power. Afterwards, the vehicle restarts in less than a minute. The stalling occurs intermittently and has gradually become worse. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop for inspection who was unable to determine the cause of the problem.

Vehicle shuts down at cruising speeds, low speeds, and idling. All systems shut down without warning. Vehicle may or may not start back up immediately. I have seen several other complaints on same issue both on NHTSA and other chat boards. This causes a hazardous driving condition for myself and other drivers. Can be especially dangerous on hilly and curved roads because all powered steering and braking shuts down as well.
