Car stops accelerating while driving then dies. Been going on since August and have not been able to find the problem. Generating numerous communication errors. Had the computer replaced thought this was the problem but it did not fix the issue. The first time this happened was 8/5/03 and it was in the shop for a week with no resolution. It ran for a couple more days then did it again the following week around 8/11/03. This went on through August in and out of the shop at which time I rented a car to get back and forth to work since the problem was gradually getting worse and being broken down on the freeway was getting to be a dangerous problem. The computer was replaced on 10/22/03 and it died when I drove off. Car has been towed 3 times due to not starting right back up and being stranded on the freeway. It has been in the shop for over a week as of today 10/29/03 and dealer is telling me that it is the oxygen sensors but cannot guarantee the work.

I have a problem and I dont know where to go for answers on my car. I have a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire...we have had no problems at all with it till I took it in last week for inspection. They told me it needed, brakes and rotors and 2 new tires.......then the day I got it, it left me stranded along the road, the temp gauge kept going passed 265 and the check gauges light kept coming on and I had to let the car sit. I called the garage where it was inspected at and told them the problem.....they have had my car for the last 4 days, driving to find a problem and they said they noticed antifreeze was leaking but had no idea where it was coming from. Now today they just called back and told me, my water pump and thermostat went out on it and that was the problem...is this sound normal to you guys"???? it was running terrific until the inspection...I paid over 1200 so far. Can you please help me out with this"
