Vehicle was in motion going speed limit when it started to shut down. It became more frequent and lasted longer to start and to stay running.

Driving on the highway car just shuts down with engine fault car stopped responding making it a real safety issue. I see this has a closed recall already but I don't think they have included all the cars affected.

I was waiting for the red light in the road. After the light turned green, I stepped on the gas pedal, however, the car didn't move at all. It stopped there. I had to restart the car to make it move again. It happened on 2017 Sep, 11/29/2017 and 11/30/2017. Three times already.
On Thursday, May 19, 2016 my wife was returning home with a carload of kids. They were on the highway and the cruise control was set when the car slowwed rapidly and the engine died. She was able to restart the car and get to the curb after traffic passed. Several minutes later the case was restarted and was driven to the dealer a mile away by missed badly ask the way there. The dealer mechanic was also stranded in the vehicle the next day and it was decided that the throttle body had gone bad. Fortunately it was late when our incident occurred; during rush hour this could have caused a serious accident.
Transmission slips when backing up. Problem is periodic but is bad enough that the car would be slow to react to emergencies such as backing from intersection when it occurs. Problem occurs when car is warmed up and most often when going from forward to stop to backing. While parking this problem causes the car to stall and then lurch backwards.
