Description of the problem	As driving at 50 miles/hr on suburban main street, engine lost complete power. All warning lights came on at same time along with check engine icon. My buick lacrosse had no acceleration, no power steering, and no power brakes. The car had no previous warning. No previous reduced performance with engine. No problems with gas economy. Absolutely no warning this would happen. Car still had electricity since speedometer still reading and radio on. After turning off car and restarting no further problems. Gm states no error message in computer. However, this is our second gm car to experience a reduced engine scenario. This time however, it was not reduced just completely off. This is a major safety concern! What if it occurs on the expressway with fast traffic. Luckily it was a local, but busy street, and a sunday. I cannot believe a government agency has not held gm accountable for this problem. A car with sudden power loss is a major public safety concern. Luckily again i'm an experienced driver with a similar incidence in another gm vehicle and knew if i hit the brakes i was a sitting duck. How can a car lose power and multiple posts on internet and no recall ? Our buick only has 30,000 miles.
