Greetings, friends,
On Thursday, my wife had a panic stop to avoid a head on collision with a car who pulled out from a stop sign without looking.
The engine of our 2017 Insignia automatic died instantly without explanation. Fortunately, the car was able to role a short distance so that she could partially clear the roadway.
for 30 minutes, my wife tried to restart the car without success, as the car partially blocked the road.
As suddenly as the problem developed, it fixed itself. After 30 minutes, the car restarted and she drove it home.
We made an appointment with our Opel dealership to have the car inspected. It is a low-mileage car in very good mechanical condition. The computer chip checked out. No sign of a problem.
The only possible explanation was that the battery was old and needed to be replaced. So we replaced the battery, and now we are waiting to see whether the problem recurs.
Does anyone else have an experience with an Insignia automatic where the engine dies in a panic stop and won't restart for 30 minutes?
