All three times the motor quit in heavy traffic and the dashboard went off. The tipm box then started smoking. I disconnected the battery cables.

The horn started honking, wipers and windshield sprayer activated, and then the vehicle tried to start itself and move forward. If i had been under the hood, i would have been run over.
