WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO TIGHTEN UP. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THAT THE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED ON, THE RADIO STILL PLAYING, ALL LIGHTS ON - BUT THE CAR WAS NOT ON. THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. GIVING ME A CLICKING NOISE WITH NO ALERTS ON IN THE CAR. AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND I PARKED IT BACK AT HOME. THE SECOND TIME, THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 45 MINS AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT MY CAR TO START, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ONE MINUTE WITHOUT IT CUTTING OFF WHILE TURNING CORNER. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THE CAR STOPPED/SHUT DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. THE NEXT TIME I WAS ACTUALLY TAKING THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND I DROVE ABOUT 3 MINS BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AND TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND FOR MY CAR TO CONTINUOUSLY STOP WHILE DRIVING IS A HUGE PROBLEM!! I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH FOR IT NOT TO HAVE STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY OR ANYTHING, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!! MY CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE IN DRIVE 5 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS, WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, AND 3 TIMES WHILE SITTING IDLE. *TR

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FUEL TANK IS MISSING THE ADHESIVE LAYER THAT BONDS THE BARRIER LAYER TO THE OUTER SHELL OF THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WITH THIS CONDITION, FUEL AND/OR FUEL VAPORS COULD SEEP OUT BETWEEN THE LAYERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 13, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
