 Description of the problem original owner of the vehicle, recall for faulty ignition switch was applied in 2011. This is actually a report of 3 incidents, (#3 the most dangerous) the engine of the vehicle suddenly shuts off while driving. It is instant and silent, with no pre-warning like one would normally experience in a classic engine stall. Vehicle was taken directly to the dealership where they said that they could not reproduce the problem and that there were no codes. They suggested that i keep driving it to see if it happens again! They also suggested (an educated guess) that i change the egr valve. Here are descriptions of the 3 events - the last one was the most dangerous and scary: .#1 dec 31, 2013. Outdoor temp below 32 degrees. Car shut off while pulling out from a stop sign, about 2-3 blocks after being started. Car was not rough idling, or showing any other signs of a problem. It just seemed like someone reached over and turned the key to "acc" because the blowers and radio were still on, but the engine, power steering and power brakes were gone. The car started right back up. #2 march 1, 2014. Outdoor temp about 32 degrees, similar situation, pulling out after a light turned green, turning right and the car just shut off again. Again i would call it a cold engine, as this happened within 5 minutes of starting the car. Also no sign of a problem with the engine. It started right back up. #3 may 23, 2014. Outdoor temp about 50 degrees. Had driven about 1 mile, (engine still cold), and was at the speed limit of 35-40mph and starting to turn with the curve in the road (a very modest curve)when the car just shut off and started wanting to go straight (no power steering) veering towards the oncoming lane. Once again, the engine started right up and was acting normal before and after the stall/shut down.
