Approaching the stopped cars ahead I slowed my car down to appx. 15mph. The light turned green. I hit the gas to continue and when nothing happened I realized that my car was completely shut off. The power steering was stiff and I had just enough speed left to move across two lanes in to a store parking lot. The car shutoff multiple times after that, both while driving and while attempting to start the car. …”
