Last week I was driving my car and it felt like it was going to stall at a stop sign. Then the engine light came on when I started driving again. While driving on a busy highway my car just shut off. No brakes, or steering. I had 3 kids in the car 2 being toddlers. I was able to put it into park and start it again to get it off the road. This is the first time this happened to me and now I am scared to drive it. As for electrical my car randomly sometimes just changes radio stations, u connect doesn't work. When disconnecting the battery it works for about a month and you can not use it anymore.
Driving typically less than 25 mph and car shuts down. Which makes me have to brake, place car in neutral and start again then switch to drive. I took car to dealership and because it didn't show on the electrical tester they said nothing was wrong. But the vehicle continues shutting off while I am driving with my children in the car.
