    In my case the stalling is intermittent _while_ I am driving. If I'm going fast enough it recovers but if I'm going slow the car will come to a stop. Waiting 5 minutes seems to reset it and it'll work fine. My OBD2 scanner shows "No error codes". I just got the manufacturer software and OBD reader where hopefully I"ll have access to the history of the error codes, but if that's not the case, I'm going to look into "OBD2 data logging" and see what that's all about.

    2007 Buick lacrosse is stalling every once in a while. It’ll do it at low low speed or at stop light.. drive it 600 miles with no problems.. it shut off twice after that. Drove it back 600 miles and it did it again twice. Again it was low low speed or at a stop light.. no check engine light on. It’s never had a new fuel pump.. I’m almost certain it’s the fuel pump.. any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    What about if steering wheel locks up and car barely moves after being at a stop light? It has happened twice in 1 day. I flashed my lights, and restart the car and it goes back to normal but I can feel a bit of shake as I drive. Any ideas?
