Vehicle stalls out in the middle of driving, completely losing all power to the vehicle in the middle of traffic. Steering wheel locks up and acceleration rapidly declines to 0. Dash displays shift to p then desired gear. In order to get the vehicle working correctly again, I must shift to p and then turn the vehicle off and back on (when turning the vehicle back on, it hesitates to start). Can't turn on hazards so no one knows why I am stopped in the middle of traffic. Have been to the dealer two times now, going on three. Being told software. Regardless of that, it's very dangerous and hazardous. All it will take is someone not paying attention for myself and my family to be seriously hurt or god-forbid worse.
