k so my car decided to randomly stall for no reason. sometimes with warning sometimes with no warning. when i turn the car on and start driving it will start jerking then ill go to press the gas and it just wont go so i have to shut the car off and then re start it, it usally runs fine after i shut it off then turn it back on but it tends to get scary because it decided to shut off at the worse time. this one time i was driving down a hill turning out onto a busy road i stopped at the end of the hill then when there was a little break in traffic i went to turn onto the road and my steering wheel just wouldn't turn and my breaks were locked up and i couldn't press them in mean while i was holding up traffic and didn't know what to do because it was the first time it had ever happened so i shut the car off and pushed it across the street got in then it started up fine it was really weird since then its happened once or twice but i just cant figure out why it does it i have no engine lights on or anything and my boyfriend how is a mechanic cant figure it out either?????? has this happened to anyone else????
