Car shuts off while driving. New alternator, new starter, new battery and the problem still occurs. Car shuts off completely, wheel tightens up. This is not when the car is idle, it's when the car is moving. Dangerous and deadly.

While driving, the ignition switch may fail and think that the key has been removed. This results in a total loss of power and the engine cutting off. The result is very limited steering and braking capability. This happened more than 6 times and included 4 visits to the dealer before they could identify why it was shutting off randomly. This is a safety issue and should be recalled.
