This is an update to the problem reported a couple days ago. After taken to the dealership, they cleared all error codes that came up when they ran the diagnostic. They found a corroded battery line that they replaced, but it turns out the main problem was the ignition switch needed to be replaced. After that was replaced, the car runs and starts fine, and it has been driven to Virginia Beach and back 2 times (30 mi each way). Hope this information was helpful for all those who have the same problem!!

I was driving my car down the street I lived on, and I braked to turn, and my traction control lights all started blinking like there was something wrong with my traction, but my car was handling fine. The lights blinked on and off a couple more times before going off and staying off. I pulled up to my house, went inside to change clothes (I was on my way to an interview I never made because of my car), and went back out like, 10 minutes later. When I put my keys in the ignition, all the lights on my dash started blinking, and the engine would turn over, but then shut off. I tried several more times to start the car, but I was unsuccessful. When my uncle got home, he looked at it, and got it started by turning the car on and revving the engine right away. The engine shook for like a minute before settling down. When he took his foot off the gas, the engine immedialty shut off, so the car didn't idle. He tried again, and finally got it to idle, he drove it around the block to make sure we could get it down the road to a Buick dealership. We made it, and the guys at the shop told us it would be $90 just for the assessment, and they would call me on Monday (July 16th) to let me know what the problem is. So as soon as I have more information on the problem, I'll post it up here.

Regal LS 3.8L
I have to get to work and doctors appts. I'm pregnant and this is a really big pain in my but. It started when I was on the highway. I put my directional on to pass a vehicle when the car started shutting the power off and on to the gas. I then took the next exit to pull off and again using my directional the car stalled out while I was going around a very sharp corner, I had no power steering. I then started my car AGAIN! and went down the road having to take another turn and turning my blinker on --- STALLED AGAIN!! couldn't get it to start back up. I waited a few minutes turned my hazards on and that's when I noticed I couldn't start the car up without the lights on the dash lighting up like its Christmas time. I finally got it home checked all the fuses and still didn't work. NOW I HAVE NO RIDE TO GO TO WORK OR APPTS.!! I don't have the money to get it fixed. So now what am I to do? OOHH and the best part is I'm still making payments til next year!!
