Car stalls while driving and all power is lost (no power steering, brakes, etc). There is no warning (i.e. The car doesn't buck or hesitate - it justs shuts off and all power is lost). It was a big problem twice when going around a turn, because i didn't have the power steering or brakes. Real big possibility that someone eventually will be hurt if problem persists.
