6/9/2018 AROUND 11:30 AM ENGINE - STARTS AND STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. WAS DRIVING AND SLOWED DOWN TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN NO WARNING. IT STARTED BACK UP; HOWEVER, THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ME - CAR BEHIND ME STARTED BLOWING THE HORN CONTINUOUSLY; ALTHOUGH, FLASHER WAS TURNED ON IMMEDIATELY. IT OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR - 2 TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND ONE TIME WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS TRAFFIC CAME TO A NEAR HALT. VERY SCARY SITUATION. ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS AGO THIS OCCUR ABOUT 5-6 TIMES IN HEAVY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS; NOW I SEE IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. HAS TO BE A BIGGER OR MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM.
