Description of the problem	This vehicle has on at least four separate occasions in the last 2 years just simply stopped running. To be clear, each time i was in the middle of driving somewhere and the engine would just stop. Each time, i was driving somewhere locally and on city streets. The first few times this happened, i was either stopped at a stop sign, or stopped at a red traffic light, at which, i either "felt" the engine stop, or i realized it when i went to proceed after the stop and got no reaction from the car when i hit the gas and tried to proceed on my way. These times, i simply turned off the ignition, and started the engine again. I don't remember and didn't take note of whether all electrical had turned off or not. But the most recent time this happened was very concerning. It was july 10th, approximately 11pm, and i was driving on a local boulevard at approximately 40-45mph when, again, the engine just stopped. This of course, disabled power steering and power brakes. Headlights and radio continued to work. Thankfully, i was able to safely pull over and turn on my hazards. I then turned off the ignition, and was able to start the engine again. The car has not replicated the issue since then, but i have to consider this when i take my family for a drive/trip. I have to consider their safety, and the thought that it could just stop in the middle of a turn or at high speeds on the freeway, or both, is very concerning. The fact that the engine just stops, (and doesn't sputter or shudder or shake to a stop) makes me believe this is an electrical problem.
