| Description of the problem | This is the third experience we have had of our car shutting off all of the sudden. The first time it happened i could hardly pull the car off the road because when it shut off i was on the highway and was very difficult to steer of the road. The second and third time this happened i was in town and also had a hard time pulling over. After each incident i had to turn key to off position put car in park and restart it. Then it seemed to be ok until the next time it happened. This is very scary and could cause an accident. I am scared to drive this car now.
