The contact owns a 2004 Buick Regal. While driving various speeds and while making a left or right turn, the vehicle would intermittently lose power. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle by wiggling the key in the ignition switch. The contact noticed that the failure occurred when the turn signals were activated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

First time my car stalled and had the ignition switch replaced was 15 months after purchasing it from a Buick dealer. Beginning 9/2011 car began stalling at many and various times. I attempted to have this repaired - taking to my Buick dealer on many occasions and to my local auto mechanic making repairs as suggested and still my car continued to stall, most recent time of stalling - Oct. 2013 - had Buick dealer again check and research technical documents to see what could be causing this problem - Buick could not find anything even after I asked them 'could it be my ignition switch' and was told no. I took my car to my local auto mechanic again and after doing lots of testing - he replaced my ignition switch. Car has not stalled since. As I understand it - my ignition switch could fail again and I am requesting that my make and model be reviewed and included in the 'recent' GM ignition switch recall.
