Description of the problem	While in the mountains in heavy traffic, the vehicle all the vehicle warning lights went on and the vehicle shutdown. While negotiating the vehicle to the side of the road, i barely avoided an an accident with another vehicle. I turned the vehicle off and it restarted and drove it to a mechanic who disconnected the battery and all of the vehicle warning lights disappeared and it drove fine. It has happened twice since including today (july 7, 2015). Was told by mechanic that it was likely an inverter that would cost about $10,000.
