Twice my car shuts off while driving. Thankfully both times its been while on the street and driving less than 30 mph. The entire car shuts off (engine, radio, ac), but will promptly start back up after turning the ignition. The car had fuel. Its an automatic. Any ideas?

Check that there isn't a loose connection in the fuse box, with the car idling, try wiggling wire connection's, you may have a loose connection that is vibrating when the car is driven.
