Engine dies intermittently at various speeds. Rmp's drop, engine light comes on and engine dies. At times there will be a shake from the engine and a loud rumbling sound while the fan was on prior to engine shutting off. Vehicle does restart immediately 90% of the time and drives normal. These episodes happen several times while driving. At one point I had my child in the vehicle, I was entering the interstate and the entrance ramp was onto the fast lane in rush hour traffic. I was traveling at a fast speed of approx. 65-70 mph as my vehicle stalled once again, I lost control of steering power. There were several vehicles behind me that had to slam on their brakes and veer off the road to avoid hitting me. It was a very scary situation to be in, nevertheless unsafe.
