I was traveling on a highway near to my home, and for about a month now the vehicle has come up with an error stating "reduced engine power". Suddenly, the vehicle simply stalled itself, coming up with a message that stated "starting disabled/service throttle". I was traveling uphill at 40mph, now with no power brakes, no power steering, and the engine completely shut off and unable to restart. Luckily I was able to pull over and disconnect the battery and reconnect it to restart it. What if this had happened on a highway on or off ramp? or on a corner? or with a vehicle traveling behind me? I believe any vehicle that will just randomly turn itself off due to a part that has had hundreds of complaints that I've just read online is unsafe to be driven on America's highways. I read online that this was a prevalent problem with these vehicles, and I hope I get injured because of it so I can sue gm.

When accelerating or decelerating, the vehicle will stall. This happens 1-2 times a week. The consequences are that I am left in the middle of traffic with a suddenly inoperative vehicle. I have had a stall out while making a left turn at a traffic signal. I have had a stall out while merging onto a freeway!! most recently I had a stall out that required immediate recovery and evasive action while making a left turn which resulted in a flat tire. I have to put the car in neutral and restart immediately to avoid a possible collision. I have been very fortunate so far. The dealership service department was unable to duplicate the problem (because it is intermittent) and there was no code showing. They told me there is nothing they can do to assist me and were rude and discourteous and implied that there really wasn't a problem with the vehicle that I was just trying to get a free replacement tire. The dealership is sundance Chevrolet in grand ledge mi.
