In the middle of driving, the dashboard lights will come on and the car slows down and stops. This has happened randomly a few times and all I have to do to keep going is turn it off and turn it on again.

Hi,

Is the engine stalling when this happens? Also, has the check engine light been staying on since this started?

Does it always restart right away after this happens? Does it only happen when the engine is warm, or has it also happened when it was still cold?

First, take a look through this link. It covers the most common causes of an engine stall while driving. See if it helps at all.

Next, let me know the answers to as many of the aforementioned questions. If you can think of additional information that can help, please add it.

I will watch for your reply.
