8 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2012

While driving my car, it just shut off automatically. Then it has been doing it multiple time since. It can happen three to five times per day. The dealership has tried to reboot the computer system numerous times, it still shuts off with no warning. I just listen to the fan if it shuts off, I have to put the transmission in neutral, and start the car while coasting. I feel that this is related to the gm Chevrolet recall. Feel free to call for a more in depth description of the ignition problem. For the affected parts question, it did not include ignition, therefore, I listed the areas of the car affected when the engine would shut off, the steering, braking were also affected. Thank you.

The engine slips and then slams into gear on soft shifts between 0 and 20 miles per hour. Not on every sot shift but it happens often enough as to where I felt the problem needed to be heard and hopefully addressed.

11 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2006

I bought a new 2006 Monte Carlo in July 2006. Since new I've had issues with the car accelerating when stopped. Also, traveling at steady speeds the rpms fluxuate. Now when you use the cruise control, as the car goes down a grade it pulsates and the rpms fluxuate then clears. Gm and dealer says it is normal. I've owned a lot of gm cars and this is not normal. Had the intermediate steering shaft,,rack and pinion assembly, power steering hose all replaced under warranty. Had to fight with gm to get the rack replaced. Bolt broke on the rear brake cable, dealer said I hit something but not a scratch on the bottom of car and hanger sits up in the frame area.
