Alternator fails causing engine stalling while driving for vehicles equipped with a 5.7l or 3.6l engine and a 160, 180 or 220 amp alternator, the alternator of the vehicle may fail, resulting in the engine stalling while driving. A failed alternator would also lead to a dead battery, preventing the vehicle from having electrical power to start. The alternator in affected vehicles also could possibly short circuit, causing an engine fire. The car turned off while in the drive position. I was leaving the company parking deck. I received two battery jumps the car turned on and once the jumping cables was removed and the gear switched to the position of drive the car turned off. I also purchased a new battery this year as it happened before earlier this year

While driving on my way to work I was pulling up to a stop sign before merging onto busy traffic on a main road when my car cut off. I tried starting it again but it would turn over but it would not stay running. After tow attempts I stopped trying turned on my hazards and signaled for the cars behind to try to go around (as this was not easy as I was blocking traffic). No warning lights were on, or came on previously, I maintained adequate 3000 mi oil changes, and maintenance. Meanwhile a police officer helped me put the car in neutral and moved me out of the way of traffic and stayed near while I waited on the tow truck. I am grateful that my car did not stall out on the highway while I was transporting my child. The thought of my car suddenly stalling is frustrating and scary! With the mileage of my car, the engine should be the least of my worries.

Ignition switch caused engine to shut down while driving and caused problems with starting. After three trips to dealer problem was found to be the ignition switch and was replaced. Stalling while driving is a safety issue that should be cause for a recall. Note! The expensive ignition switch was replaced at my cost. I have the repair invoices.

Was driving down the rd in city limits when lightning bolt light came on as well as traction control light...car bucked through intersection before stalling in middle of rd nearly causing an accident... Drove immediately to dealership while stalling at every light on way there.. Dealership claimed it was egr tube seal replaced as I started to drive off lights came back on ... No fix... So then dealer changed map sensor said didn't know what else could be problem.. Driving home car stalled again.. The next day was a holiday so I got the car home called service they told me it may be learning the car and to continue to drive.. A week later still stalling everyday. Called service and left message with no return call.. Can not keep paying for rental or them to tell me they don't know. I've had this car maybe 8 mos and had all service done on it... This is ridiculous!
