Day 2 - Same thing, drving on hwy at 60-70 mph. Engine cuts out. The engine is being driven by the transmission now - I didn't switch the trans to neutral. Without thinking, all I do is turn the ignition off and turn it back on (did not crank the starter) and the engine fires right up and no problems.
Is it not a very dangerous thing to turn off the ignition while the car is running? the steering wheel can be blocked.
