The engine shuts down with no warning. The problem has occurred 5 times. The first time it happened on a side street at 35mph. The green security key light came on...experienced a loss of power and then all other lights came on and car stopped. I was able to restart the engine. A few weeks later on the freeway...at 70mph...green security light came on...experienced a loss of power...and then...power came back and car drove on normally. Third time, driving over rail road tracks, at 10 mph, green light came on, engine cut off...vehicle was restarted. Fourth time, freeway at 70mph, green key light came on, experienced loss of power, engine cut off. Tried to restart car several times unsuccessfully. Waited 45 minutes and then car restarted. This problem is a direct threat to my life. Please help.
