Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TWO OCCURRENCES NOW - THE FIRST HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BETWEEN 15K AND 20K MILES, WITH THE CAR STALLING WHEN SETTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I ALSO GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER WHO SAID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE. JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AT AROUND 25K MILES, MY FIANCE AND I WERE SETTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED OUT. AFTER THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE LAYING ON THEIR HORNS, I GOT THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TRAVELING. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AGAIN AT THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT AFTER READING SIMILAR ISSUES FROM OTHER OWNERS, I AM STARTING TO DOUBT THEY WILL CORRECT IT. *JS
