Without warning engine died at night while driving on a dual lane highway. Pulled over to the side of the highway before car momentum died. Would not restart and the "engine check" light was lit. Car was towed to a service repair station that evening. Service station found the water pump failed resulting in the timing belt failure. Belt and water pump replaced, timing reset, but failed to start. Investigation revealed timing had slipped and cause was the crankshaft pulley key had sheared. That was replaced, timed again, and engine was back to normal. Oldmobile parts not availiable.
Car stalled and overheated during traffic. When they took vehicle to the dealership, the dealer stated that the coolant leaked out of the overflow bottle. The consumer has replaced the bottle twice. The manufacturer has been contacted.
