Car died while driving for no apparent reason. It happened three times today. I bought a new battery and it did it again. The lady checked battery and said it was getting a full charge which did not indicate the alternator being bad. It starts right back up after seizing.

May be a sensor acting up with heat, run a scan to see if there are any fault codes set in the ECU.

Also, an alert code popped up on my dashboard only for a second that read " engine fail workshop! ".
