Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
My car stalls while I'm moving! I bought the car from a used lot in aug 2014, shortly after I received a recall notice. I took the car in to a dealer and the dealer put shells over the keys & supposedly didwhatever else was required in the recall. Shortly after that, I was having a hard time starting the car, I took it back to the lot where I bought it this time. Their mechanic checked it out & determined the crankshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. So they replaced it. Recently my car is having a hard time starting but more importantly, my car will stall while I'm driving! This is scary to be going 25-45 MPH and not be able to control my car! This morning I slowed down to turn a corner & it just shut off on me and I could not turn the wheel! Caused my to come about 2 feet from hitting a median & almost be rear ended! My kids rode in this vehicle & one or all of us is gonna end up seriously injured or killed! This seems to be a serious issue with these vehicles & it needs to be fixed & quickly! I can't keep praying to have this fixed once a year nor should I have to! This issue needs to be addressed immediately & there should be a recall out regarding this issue!

Communication failure from main computer causes car to stall and sometimes not even start as well as A/C heater and cruise control works once and a while. Contacted dealer and was told a person from the services dept would call me back. They didn't. Talked to another person and told then about the car stalling and not starting and they told me that it was either the fuel filter or the fuel pump. Replace fuel filter, didn't help checked fuel pump but it was working just fine. The car has stalled out on the highway many times and has but my life as well as my childrens lifes in danger. When it dies the power steering and power brakes do not respond. Just today I had a basic computer scan done which told me the problem. The place that did the test informed me that is the #1 problem with the oldsmobile from 1997-2001. I was also informed that gm is aware of this problem, but they wont do anything until a death results from it. Gm needs to step up and fix these problems. This is also a problem with the alero's (2000 model).
The alternator ripped out of the engine block. This resulted in the vehicle stalling on 3 separate occasions. When this occurred the vehicle lost power steering and brakes, which almost caused an accident. Mechanic indicated that he had never seen anything like this before, and didn't know what could have caused it.
