I have had this car for about 3 months and this has only happened to me twice. I will be driving down the road and the engine stutters for a sec and shuts off. The first time it happened it started back up after giving it a little bit of gas. The second time I was driving down the highway and I went to give it a little bit of gas and nothing, the car died and I didn't even know it. I ended up having it towed home bc it won't start it just cranks. Also when it happened both times the check engine light came on.If any one can help it would be much appreciated.

check your grounds. Start with the ones that go over the exhaust manifold. They ground your ecu to the engine block, and if that puppy looses power for a spilt second you'll have what your experiencing. Oh, and make sure your battery terminals are nice and tight.-Lech

I just went thru a similar experience, car stuttering and then shut off and wouldnt start back up. It was bad grounds.
