Engine stops unpredictably, resulting in loss of power steering and brakes. There is absolutely no warning that this is about to occur. No "idiot lights" are lit, and the engine does not lurch or hesitate -- it simply quits. This has resulted in some near mishaps when this occurs in heavy traffic. Sudden deceleration without warning, and very sluggish handling until the engine can be restarted, represents a significant hazard to myself, my passengers, and other drivers. Input-output sensors were replaced 90 days ago. This eliminated the problem until september 16, 2003 when it began to recur.
