My wife was driving to work driving approximately 45mph when, engine sounded as if it were in fuel saver mode, she started up a slight grade and engine wouldn't accelerate nor the transmission down shift then the engine shut off with out any warning. She was able to pull over to the side of the road and put the car in park and restart the engine. As of today's date 10/02/2014 this has happened twice.
