So i was driving to work this morning and all of a sudden my car shut off while i was moving then it started back up and did it again a few more times.
Has anyone ever had this happen?

I think someone mentioned this recently. You'll have to search for the thread.

I had my alternator done a few months back, so thats working fine. I'm thinking that it is silver part under the steering wheel that locks the steering wheel going bad (can't think of what it is called). I had to tap it before a while back to get it to shut back on so idk, i'll look for the thread

saywat?

bad or going bad camshaft sensor or sensors is a possibility. happened in my g35

My 350z battery bracket broke unknown to me and the cables were getting ragged. The battery would shift randomly in some turns, accelerating or braking, big bumps, and lose contact and shut off and on. Check that.
