While driving through a intersection turning right the engine shutoff without warning. Along with the engine shutoff, power steering was lost and everything on the dashboard including the speedometer, rpms, radio. With the loss of acceleration and power steering it made it very difficult to maneuver to safety. Once stopped I was able to place the vehicle in park I turned the key to off and restarted the vehicle and it started back up normally. Absolutely no engine lights or warning were showing before or after this incident. I suspect that the issue is the tipm but can't be exactly sure.
