NHTSA Complaint #10052833 — 1998 BUICK REGAL

I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR USED EXACTLY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND WENT OFF. THEN NEXT DAY AFTER THE BRAKE LIGHT SITUATION THE CHECK ENGINE AND ENTIRE DASHBOARD CAME ON WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. AND CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL. WHICH THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE DID START BACK UP. AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ON THE CODES FOR THE BRAKE OR ENGINE PROBLEM ( WHICH I HAD TO PAY $112) . I SAID THERE HAS TO BE A REASON EVEN THOUGH THE CODES AREN'T SHOWING. SO THEY LOOKED AT THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM, FLUIDS, AND CHECKED MY BRAKE PADS. AND STILL FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY OTHER SOLUTION. SO THE NEXT DAY I DROVE THE CAR IN THE SAME AREA AND THE CAR ONCE AGAIN STALLED AND GOOD THING I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. SO THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS STALLING SITUATION I DO BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A DEFECT FOR INVESTIGATION IN ORDER TO RECALL. AS IT IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS.*AK
