NHTSA Complaint #10565418 — 2009 PONTIAC VIBE

THE ENGINE STOPPED AT FREEWAY SPEED. THIS WAS THE SIXTH TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT A YEAR. ONCE OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED, THE CAR DOES RESTART. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT DO AN OFFICIAL INSPECTION SINCE THERE WERE NO CODES AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THIS WAS JUST AFTER THE CAR HAD DIES ON THE FREEWAY IN DECEMBER. THAT WAS ABOUT THE FOURTH OCCURRENCE. THEY SUGGESTED CLEANING THE BATTERY TERMINALS WHICH WERE A LITTLE CORRODED. I DID THIS AND INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR SUGGESTION IS THAT I PAY TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS DONE AT A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A STATEMENT FROM THEIR CHAT: HOWEVER, WE CAN SEE WHAT ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, GIVEN HAVING OVER 100,000 MILES DOES LIMIT WHAT WE CAN DO. OK, SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER. 12:32:34LEAUNDRE:I CAN DOCUMENT THIS CONCERN IN OUR SYSTEM. THE SPECIALIST WILL DO NOTHING FURTHER UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSIS DONE ON THE CAR. *TR
