Description of the problem	I was driving on a highway when i lost power to the vehicle. Fortunately, traffic was not heavy and i was able to drift off to the side of the road. I had two passengers and we were able to push it off to the side so we were as far off the road as possible. Time was approximately 8pm on march 2, 2019. This is at least the 3rd incident we have had with this vehicle with this same problem. I believe there was a 4th but i will have to verify that with my wife who is out of town and i have not talked to her yet this morning. It is her car and i was using it. I believe the first incident occurred in the summer of 2015 when my son was driving it. While my son was waiting to be towed he tried starting the car after 20 minutes and it did start. He let the tow truck and dealership know that and proceeded on his way without incident. The dealership has looked at the incident when it happened again and they say their computer is not registering the problem so therefore it must not exist. Our mechanic has looked at it and he believes it is a throttle body sensor and for some reason the vehicle shuts down when it thinks it's too hot and upon sitting it cools down and thus starts. However, we sat for about an hour before the tow truck arrived on march 2, 2019 and i was unable to start the vehicle. I had it towed to the dealership and that is where it is now. I am not a mechanic so my explanation of what is causing the problem may not be totally accurate. What i do know is that had this happened when traffic was heavy i may not be alive today to be reporting this recurring problem.
