Description of the problem	While driving on the parkway at 55mph the engine shut down leaving me without power, the battery light and engine light came on. I was in the middle lane with my two small children in the backseat, not only did i not have power to the engine i didn't have power steering for the vehicle shut completely down. I was able to pull off the road to the side of the road, where i tried to restart the car only to smell something burning from the engine.
