    While in motion (drive) on a city street and expressway the vehicle has shut off on me four different times on 11/24/2019 one week after becoming the new owner. The vehicle also stalled when turning the key fob to start the vehicle numerous times after shutting off. The key fob which turns the vehicle on and off at the slightest touch has abruptly turned the vehicle off while the car is in drive.
