I was stopped at a red light on a major three lane each direction highway in Suburban il, when I started to go after the light change the car stuttered and turned off. It was rendered completely inoperable. The car would not shift into neutral. The radio and windows worked, but no other electrical components worked (e.g. door lock/unlock).
