Pulled into shopping center parking lot ( 35mph slight right turn) started to turn left to parking space and engine cut-out suddenly without warning. Incident was recorded by my dash cam: S247.photobucket.com/user/hchickpea/media/vanpowercutout_zpsb0E071E6.MP4.html you can see the flash of a police car going in the opposite direction at almost the exact time of the engine stopping. No apparent ignition switch problems, no engine chugging or sounds, lightweight keychain.
