2000 Oldsmobile Alero engine dies. My car, up to date with all recalls, has numerous issues still with driving and dying. When you start the car, sometimes it has a high idle- 1500 to 2200 rpm. When you shift it into drive, it dies. Sometimes you can be driving and the car just shuts off. I have had the car looked at by 3 different auto shops. 1 of them a gm dealership and 2 of them local auto shops. They have replace the fuel filter and played around with the idler. The problem still continues. A local mechanic did suggest that the issue might be that the engine would be getting flooded when it shuts off and then has way too much excess fuel when you try starting it. He said if it is true, his thoughts, it could eventually lead to an engine fire. This has been going on for over 8 months now. I will report the incident as today's date, as it has done it all day. When the car does shut off it is hard to control and I have had to use curbs as my stopping mechanism.
Engine shuts off going down highway. Will not restart for several minutes. Able to drive a few miles and will do it again. After having it towed the service center cannot find the problem. Has done the same thing four more times.
I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. My rotors have been replaced 3 times while still under warranty and whereby the shim kit was placed. I am still experiencing the same brake problems. My turn signals and hazard lights have completely gone out. Now every few weeks, without any warning, my car completely shuts down, leaving me on the road. I have had it towed to repair shops where they put it on the computer and it doesn't give any code. They cannot figure out what is caused it to stall. This has happened to me 3 times this year. The regulator had to be replaced on the passenger side door window. My car is currently at the shop, and I have recently read the voluminous complaints to the engine coolant system and will inform my mechanic to check to see if that was the cause of the stall. The car will just shut down on the interstate while at 70 mph. This is very dangerous.
