While driving around a corner the engine shut off, the key was not turned to the off position. I was able to glide the car to a parking lot, turned the key to the off position, let the car sit for a few minutes, turned it back on and continued driving.
Vehicle continued to stall and cut off. There have been instances where the vehicle shut down and had to be towed. Vehicle is at the dealership, again they are unable to duplicate the problem.
