Description of the problem	While traveling at approximately 35 mph the engine stalled without warning. We had just left home about two minutes before. With extreme difficulty in turning the steering wheel, we drifted to the side of the road and then restarted the car. This has happened twice before, once having just reversed out of a parking spot and then driving forward out of the parking lot at very slow speed and then again when reversing out of the garage. At other times, when first starting up the car in the garage and turning the key, there has been no ignition initially.
