Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2002 Oldsmobile Alero

The car initially would not start, googled help left in start position for 10 minutes then started. While driving the car shut off mid traffic, thought it was stolen. Taken to gm dealership put in new passcode key, told it was ok. Left dealership car cut off, taken back, said it was fuel injectors, has all of then changed. Car cut off, read on internet that it was a manufacturing error. Dealership would not reimburse money and car continues to not crank at times and cuts off, think it is stolen. This is a saftey hazard and this car should not be sold without warning future drivers. Nearly cost me my life.

While driving down highway, vehicle key switch randomly malfunctions, causing the vehicle to shut off resulting in loss of control. On multiple occasions I have almost been in a crash because the car shut off.

The event is unexpected, there is nothing definitive that leads up to the failure. The failure is that the engine shuts down while driving. It has happened 4 times in the last nine months. Once it was able to be restarted after just a few minutes; another time I had to wait about 45 minutes to restart it then it shut down again after driving 12 miles down the road. Each time it was taken to a garage and placed on the diagnostic, it doesn't show a problem exists, therefore, to date, no repairs have been made since no one knows what the problem is . There hasn't been any injury at this time due to this problem, but if this continues a serious occurrence is inevitable; I. E. Losing power while driving down the highway at 65mph.

My car shut off while driving on downtown street. Tow was necessary. Ignition sensory assembly had to be replaced. I received recall for this today gm #14350. I was told there would be directions in the case that I already made repair. There are no instructions. I have a very specific receipt for the repair. How do I get reimbursed. Phone #'s are always busy. . . That's why I'm trying for information here. Thanks.

However, the dealer replaced the electrical harness. The contact also stated that while driving 65 mph, the vehicle jerked and then shut off. The dealer stated that the timing chain failed and made the repair. The failure mileage was 22,000 and current mileage was 58,000.
