Description of the problem	I was driving down the expressway when the car engine light came on, the power shut down and the power steering stopped working. I had trouble trying to merge over into a safe lane before the car stopped rolling. I did manage restarting the vehicle to move over to the side of the road before it cut off on me again. Once i was safe i restarted the vehicle and let it run a couple of minutes before i was safe to pull back out. This happen to me a couple of time before but this time it was so unsafe i almost was killed my a 18 wheeler truck. I contact many dealerships to see what code comes up and no code comes up.
