While traveling and without any indication vehicle would stall at any speed. Consumer states vehicle seems to stall at high and low speeds, consumer also states that the fuel filter was replaced but did not resolve the problem.

Excessive oil consumption, needs to add a quart of oil afer 2000 miles. This is not acceptable. This is an added expense and will not get better. We also have a 1998 GMC jimmy two oil changes never had to add oil. The Buick dealer claims that this normal, I disagree, this is the 90's pollution is a consideration plus the additional operational cost. I also have a long rental record with national, and always rent Buick Regals, not for days, but weeks and drive 2000-3000 miles per rental. Could you respond. Thanks.
