Description of the problem	I was driving through a reduced speed zone of 35 mph and went to set my cruise control, about 3-5 seconds later i felt the car go dead. I lost power steering and all electrical systems. My indicator lights were on and flickering and i had no control over the vehicle other than waning off to the side of the road to get out of the way of traffic. Once my car came to a stop i proceeded to turn off the ignition. I tried starting it and the engine turned a couple of times but went dead so i turned it off. I tried one more time to start the ignition and was only barely able to get the engine to start and maintain. I went off on my way and later on my way home i stopped to get food and when i got back in my car i tried starting it and it struggled to start. I have only had my car for 1. 5 years and only in the past couple months experienced problems with my cruise control not activating and setting to my current speed.
