Ok, similar to other complains on not starting or stalling out (Usually around 45 miles per hour). The car has stopped running 3 times over the last 9 months and had to wait ten minutes or so to restart. Then recently we came out from a store and the car would not start. Tried several different maneuvers and finally when I opened the door it started. I have read in the post that it seems to be a problem with the security system of the car. When I open the door it could have disarmed the security system. I am waiting for this to happen again to see if this same maneuver works or if it was just a coincidence. My wife is very uncomfortable driving the car and having to stop on her. So far we have been in areas where we could pull over. But it could be a problem if we did not have this choice. Chevrolet, can we get some help here?

So, I first notice this problem every once in awhile. There would be no notice. Usually when I had to leave to do something really important. I would try to start the car. It sounds like it wants to start, but won't turn over. Like it isn't getting a spark or won't connect. I would wait about 20 min to an hour. Try again and the car is fine. No weird noise, smell or anything else. Then about 2 days ago while driving home in rush hour in 90 degree traffic.. the car just stalled with no warning. Waited about 20 min. started back up.. drove about 2 blocks and stalled again. Then yesterday I was again driving home after work again in 90 degree weather. Again out of no where the car stalled. Finally got it turned back over long enough to drive about 2 more blocks and it stalled. Luckily enough I was able to roll the car and turn down the street into a neighborhood. I left the car for the night. Came back this AM, the car start right up. Was able to drive for about 1/2 a mile and stalled again. So now the car is in the shop, being looked at. I will keep you updated!

I was picking my newborn daughter and wife from the hospital. While parking my Impala the car shut off. It did not make a sound it just shut off. After one hour the car still wont start. About an hour and half later the car started up as if nothing happened. Driving home from the hospital i'm nervous as hell hoping it will make it home. It did but the it keeps on shutting off. does anyone out there have a solution?

check engine light goes on - sometimes steady and sometimes flashes. When flashing the engine misses and cuts out. Attempts to repair include new spark plugs, spark plug wires,, fuel filter, change fuels. When we first purchased the car the computer acted up and was replaced. This problem is intermittent - lately more frequent.. Mechanics are unable to find solution.

This problem was fixed very quickly and easily by an AAMCO mechanic. Since we had just replaced the tranmission in our P.O.S. we took it back to them to put on the computer. The problem was found and corrected right away. This had happened before and been into the chevy dealership where we bought the car, brand new, and they were never able to duplicate the problem. The stumbling/missing had recently gotten worse. AAMCO said it was a loose or corroded computer ground wire which was NEVER suggested at the Chevy dealership. So far, so good. This little ground wire being fixed made an immediate difference today!!!

Car continues to fall dead or not start. After taking it back to dealership, mechanic said he would need to keep it for a certain length of time to find out the problem. I told him to keep it as long as he needed to. After a week he called to say he could not find the problem. He stated that the car was driven over 60 miles and it never went dead and it started every time. However, as I was driving home from the dealership, it died. I never took it back. During the previous "visits" to the dealership I was charged $60. an hour just for them to look at it.
