problem #3

2009Apr 13

Impala 3.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 273,403 miles

When the engine get hot, the car stall. It can be highway or a local road. Stalls after driving for 15-20 minutes when the engine get hot. Will start after temperature gauge comes down below 1/4 of the scale. Any solutions? Other than this the car is good. I love comfortable cars, that's why I choose this one. Main gasket was changed about 250,000 K.M. Transmission replaced about 375,000 k.m. Starter and alternator replaced 3 or 4 times. Other than this car is good.

This is a really pain in the ass and I don't feel safe driving my car . What the heck is that driving down the road and out of know where your car dies out you loose power steering, everything. It doesn't happen all the time just out of the blue????More then a couple dozen times.

This problem started about a week after I got the car. It would just shut off and I would be driving. It was a real problem because, I would be on the highway for instance when It decided it wanted to shut off. I sometimes I would be able to tell when it is about to turn off. For instance at night I would notice that my head lights would start to go dim and than bright and then the car would just stall. Or when I would give it gas from a stop. It would just go dead.
