2008 Buick Lucerne Engine Problems

“Vehicle stalled out on a highway (and at highway speed) and would not restart. Obviously this created a very dangerous condition for me and those around me as I tried to coast over to the shoulder (esp with loss of power steering and brakes). The problem came without any warning, and was determined to have been isolated to the ignition control module. Mileage on the car is only 43k”

“The engine it's shutting off while driving, and after it gets cold it will restart, but after driving again another few miles it will shut off again. There are no lights on, so no mechanic to tell me what the problem is. I even called the dealer, and I was told that they can't diagnose the car because is no check engine light on.. I tried few different auto shops with no answer, so my car is parked in the driveway because I'm scared to drive it, I don't know how or when the engine will stop.. …”

I attached pictures but did need to upload the fire dept report.”

“This car's engine would stop for no reason and not restart at stop signs and while driving. The power steering and power brakes would go out when this would happen which was especially dangerous when driving. It was taken to the dealership for repairs on at least 4 occasions and never fixed. It is again listed on the dealership site for sale after I took a $3,000 loss trading it in for another vehicle. I was told by the manager that the car would not be sold again, but it is on the pre-auction lot of the dealership for sale at nearly the amount I paid for the vehicle in november 2016. …”
