    - BALTIMORE, MD

    THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN EXTENDED STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON VERY HOT DAYS (IN THE 90'S). AFTER COOLING DOWN FOR AN EXTENDED TIME (1/2 HOUR OR MORE), THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND ACTED NORMAL. IT HAPPENED LAST LABOR DAY (2018 AND YESTERDAY (6/28/19). ONCE THE ENGINE STOPPED I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR UNTIL IT COOLED DOWN. I WAS STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I COULD MOVE THE CAR TO SIDE OF THE ROAD BY PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL. THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I ACQUIRED THE CAR ON 3/15/14. I BELIEVE IT IS SOMEHOW RELATED TO THE CAR OVERHEATING AND SHUTTING ITSELF DOWN TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGE. COULD THIS BE RELATED TO THE SAFETY RECALL 19N4 -ELECTRIC (AFTER RUN) COOLANT PUMP (NHTSA 18V229)?
