Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway when the vehicle shut off and dropped speed quickly, was advised by the dealer that it was an electrical shortage to the battery as the car was brand new. Took the vehicle back in for repair, and it has happened three more times since that over the past two years. Two of those times were also on the highway. The most recent was last month (september 13, 2014) while making a u-turn at a light in front of moving traffic the car completely shut off right after my turn.
