Date given is the first incident. Engine quits for no apparent reason. It has happened at different speeds and different weather conditions. Dealer cannot find reason. Contacted GM and they just called the dealer. I am fearful that it will happen on the freeway and will cause an accident and someone will get hurt. Dealer says there is nothing they can do because they can't find the reason and they can't replace parts they don't think are broken.

Vehicle shuts off while driving & will not restart. Dealer has been unable to identify the cause. Has replaced ECM & attached a vehicle data recorder in order to hopefully locate the source of trouble. I have been in dangerous situations, traveling at high speeds on busy roadways when the engine failure occurs. I am given no warning, nor am I able to restart the car. I have had the car towed 4 times & I just bought the car a month and a half ago.
