Back in twice

Just thought I would update....sorry it took so long.

Car went in twice and each time they could not find anything...basically told me since they could not replicate the problem and nothing came up when hooked up to the diagnostic computer that there was nothing that they could do...

Pull over to the should and put it in park, thankfully it started back up, but this happened 2 more times aftet that.

We dropped it off at the dealer this morning, but they are so swamped they haven't looked at it yet....

I love my car and now this sux b/c I am so afraid this will become a major problem!

I've had this happen to me on the highway doing about the same speed, the only difference is I hit a pot hole

and everything went completly dead.

I put the car in neutral and started it back up. It only happen once and scared the crap out of me,

I said something to the dealer about it while the car was in for service and they were not able to find anythng wrong.

If the pothole was big enough it might have tripped the fuel shutoff (it's happened to me before). But that wouldn't explain why it would start immediately after

(usually a manual override).
