Pontiac Sunfire 2003. Once in a while, one never knows why it happens - engine shuts off when idling. On one occasion the car was on the road, trying to make a turn, slowed down the car to make the turn. Naturally, engine rpm go down; but then the engine dies, steering wheel locks and there is a near miss colliding with another car.
I managed once to do the following - the engine turned off on its own while I was waiting at traffic light. Right away I took it to mechanic without turning the engine off until it was checked. The board computer memory didn't record any failure. It could be bad electrical contacts, or anything around the ignition computer, etc. Who knows. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often and hopefully it stays like that.
