At random, my vehicle will shut off or die causing me to loose the ability to steer. It can stall while waiting at a stop light, or turning left. Most recently it stalled while I was turning left and I almost hit a parked car since I had no steering. This has happened about 12 times. One time it happened 3 times in one day. I have brought it to the shop and they could not find anything wrong with it. Its seems to stall after I was stopped and waiting or when I decelerate.
