My car just stops running. I have been driving down the freeway and the engine just stops. I have to put it in neutral and coast to the side of the road. Both times I had it towed to a dealership and the problem did not happen while they had it.

Most recently, I the car would start and immediately stop. The car will run for about a second, and then stop. I had it towed to the Goodyear shop and of course, it worked just fine for them.

I bought the car used and had a remote start installed at the dealership where I bought the car. I had no problems for a while, and then the engine would just stop while I was driving. It would usually run again after a few minutes and a few attempts to restart it.

The first place I took it said it was the remote start that was the problem, so they removed it. Again, no problems for a while, but then it started stopping again!

I am afraid to drive the car, I don’t know what to do next. Any ideas?
