While driving my car it simply cut off - went dead. I had to pull off the road with no power steering. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. Once off the road - I am able to put the car in park and restart. This happens for no reason. I have had the car in the shop several times with no explanation what is happening.

He first instance was when had stopped at my house, gone in and grabbed some paperwork, got back in the SUV and then when putting the SUV into reverse it just turned off. I went back to the dealership, where I was actually purchasing the vehicle. On my way back to the dealership I was traveling about 35 MPH on a straight road when the SUV shut off. There was no power steering or brakes, but I noticed the stereo seemed to be on , just the display. I put the car in neutral while going about 15 MPH and started it, and then put it back in gear. I went to the dealer again, I was on my way to finalize the purchase, and related this to them. They stated they weren't sure why it happened but would look into it. I was dropping it off on 5/22/07.

Vehicle has stalled twice during operation nearly causing severe accidents. Once while exciting off ramp of freeway at around 40 MPH and once while accelerating from a stop. With no power steering or brakes either situation could have been deadly, we were just lucky that the drivers around us were alert and we were able to restart the vehicle and get away safely. The second occurrence happened with my family in the car and frightened us all. The vehicle is currently in the shop, the dealer mentioned no known problems. I came home and did a quick web search and found several postings on various web sites stating the same problem. Some one is going to be killed if they have not already as a result of this. Where is the recall?
