Description of the problem | Below is the same thing that has been happening to me for the past two years. Dealer and mechanic cannot seem to find the problem. This could cause a serious accident while highway driving. Make: buick model: riviera year: 1995 complaint number: 725331 summary: while driving 25-50 mph, without warning, the engine shuts down, causing power steering loss, and the interior locks open and close rappidly. Only after coasting off the highway coming to a stop, putting the car in "park" turning off the ignition, and waiting a couple of minutes will the car restart. Dealer could not duplicate! Need a resolution, because the family refuses to enter the car.*ak |
