“While driving on the interstate at night, our 09' Chrysler 300 completely shutoff unexpectedly. Engine shutoff, loss of power steering, no power brakes...and worst of all, all lights shutoff! I drift off into the emergency lane (luckily minimal traffic) and stop. Put in in park and restart the vehicle...no warning lights, no issues, as if nothing happened. Continue on with life... Now a while later, I'm driving around a tight roundabout at a low rate of speed. And it happens again! …”
