3 Ignition problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2000

This vehicle turned off while driving 15-20mph. This happened twice, both on hot summer days. Each time I was changing lanes, turning to the right when the car shut off. This leaves you with no control in the middle of traffic. Once you get the car out of the way and wait a 1-2 minutes the car will start up on the first or second try. This car also refuses to start about 3-5 times per week. You turn the key and get nothing. Or you turn the key and get radio and air but nothing else. Sometime it can take 10-15 tries before the car will actually start. Dealer has been "unable to duplicate the problem" and has said that there are "no codes stored in the computer".
