Description of the problem	I was traveling on this date from cranberry township, pennsylvania where i work as an engineer at westinghouse headquarter office to west chester, ohio where my family reside for a family thanksgiving gathering. It was 6:30 am and it was snowing. The traffic ahead begin slowing down for some reason. The visibility was becoming quite poor. I was in the middle of the 3-lane i-79 heading south-west. Hence i wanted to put on my hazard signal to alert the traffic behind me of the danger ahead. In the process i pushed on the on/off start button. The engine died right away while i was traveling at 50 mph. All control was immediately lost in the process. Unable to steer my car either left or right i pushed on the hazard button to alert the vehicle behind od my distress. Luckily for me, the fellow behind slowed down and stayed behind me until i brought my car to a full and complete stop in the middle of the highway and put it in park to restart the engine and slowly continue my trip without further incident. I was extremely scared and surprise that it was possible at all to kill the engine while at speed on the road in this vehicle. I do believe this is a major flaw that could have been quite serious under different circumstances. Imagine it happened down the mountain in west virginia where i was heading next..... Thank you
