The motor completely shuts off unexpectedly while the car is in motion. Sometimes there will be a loss pf engine power and a 'stuttering' and jerking just before the stall occurs, but not always. At faster speeds there is a hard thump and sudden deceleration. My car has stalled 14 times while in motion at speeds from 20 mph to 60 mph since I started counting (there have been more stalls than this). The car also now stalls at stop lights, stop signs, or simply while idling in neutral (I have video of the motor shutting off). The issue first appeared at about 310 miles on the odometer on 19 August 2019. The car now has only 372 miles on it. All stalls have occurred while car was being driven in a straight line, on both local roads and a state route highway. The check engine light does not come on when these stalls occur. There have been three near-accidents since the problem occurred. Car was purchased 29 July 2019, vehicle had 122 miles on it from delivery from a Pennsylvania dealer to my dealer in Maryland.
