1998 Pontiac Bonneville - on numreous occasions the vehicle has stalled for no apparent reason. Sometimes while moving, other times at stop signs or stoplights. Warm and cold weather. Warm and cold engine. The dealer has had it on the diagnostic machnies and even hooked up a recorder to record conditions when the stalls occur, but still no answers.

This is the 2nd time I've had to replace the ignition coil wire and about 5/6 times already the car has just completely shut off while I was driving it, usually when I was slowing down at a stop sign/signal or just taking off from one.

The alternator at a stop cannot maintain power for more than aa couple of minutes and if you have an accessorie (I.e.) your heat or defogger or the headlights it will dim to the point that if you are at a long light it will stall the car and if it is dark it is hard for other cars to see you while stopped at a light it will stall out after a min. If you have a defogger on I don't believe that I should have to go to park when I stop at a light if I need the defogger on so I can see and the dealer just told me to put it in park at a long light and they have had two other complaints that they mentioned and tech support tells them there is nothing wrong with the chargeing system thank you for your time
