My car keeps cutting off while driving. It has done this several times on highway, rural roads and main roads. It has caused me to almost have several wrecks. When the car cuts off, I lose all power. I have been stranded several times. I have had to walk back home or get someone to come get me if it was further away. I have had to use someone car because I am afraid it will do it and I will wreck my brother-in-law was killed in a similar accident. After a while the vehicle will start again, but does the same thing over and over again. It started off about 1 month after I purchased it, when I would just crank the car and the first time it would not crank but the 2nd time it would. In the last 2 weeks it has become more frequent occurance. When I put it in neutral to see if it will crank. It does and then I put in drive. It cuts off again. I have to pull over to the side of the road no matter where you are and sometimes if you are going on the highway at the speed and your car cuts off, you lose power and could easy wreck. If I was to pull out and it cut off, I could be hit and killed or a family member in the car with me. I was stranded recently, a gentleman came over and brought some equipment when I told him what had happened and he told me that it could be either the crank shaft sensor or camshaft sensor that is bad. He also said there could be a recall on some vehicles of that model year.
