The engine stalled twice in 3 days, last Friday I was driving at 70 mph, suddenly the engine stalled and I had to move over 3 lanes to stop at the shoulder, called the police, policeman checked the battery, no problem, the car just wouldn't start, he called the tow truck. I got curious, tried starting the car, it started back up. I then drove to the dealership, the technician said no error code and therefore no problem with the car. Today (Sunday), my car stalled again, this time I was driving 20 mph, the car started back up. What is causing this? I have small children riding with me! please give me some information about this!.
