Description of the problem	Three times this week i have been traveling 35 miles an hour or less and the car has just turned off. The first time i was in a parking lot and had to push it into a stall (cracking my tail light while doing that quickly to get out of the way.) the second time was turning a corner and it died. The third time i was just entering the freeway on-ramp when it died. It gives no warning other than silence and a last gasp of gas going through. All three times i was able to stop the car, put it in park and restart it. It has been harder and harder to get it started after that. I took it into the mechanic and he cleaned the fuel filter, but it hasn't stopped the problem totally.
