In owners' own words
The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the anti-theft security warning light illuminated as the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was not available. Electrical system
With no indication of trouble, the car stalls and shuts down while driving. Sometimes it can be re-started, sometimes it cannot be restarted. After towed to the dealer, the problem does not occur and no cause is identified. Last year the dealer replaced the idle air control and cleaned the throttle body, but the problem returned intermittently. It has occurred once / week for the last month.
