NHTSA Complaint #10575786 — 2007 CHEVROLET UPLANDER

MY ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF SHORTLY AFTER I START MY CAR. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT DO THIS FOR 5 - 7 WEEKS IN A ROW, BUT OTHER TIMES IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN A WEEK. MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, BUT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER WORK. IT DIES WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF BEING STARTED -- GENERALLY WHILE I'M STILL IN A PARKING LOT OR JUST PULLING ONTO THE ROAD. MY CAR IS PARKED OUTDOORS AND I LIVE IN A MILD CLIMATE. WEATHER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY STARTED THE CAR AND REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT FURTHER. *TR
