Car shuts off while driving! What happens?

[@peacemaker8352]

This happened to me earlier today at a light just before i turned on the freeway.I was able to stear it across the road and restart it.

[@Herbeauti]

Hey Did it happen again and why is it happening?

[@danno5805]

​​@@HerbeautiI had two Hondas that did that. It was the circuit board* to the ignition switch. I soldered it the right was and never had another problem. Edit*

[@danno5805]

Circuit board *

[@Herbeauti]

@@danno5805 yeah same I had to get the switched fixed haven’t happen to me since happy it’s wasn’t a major problem.

[@being4447]

Neutral and you will have more control. Grandpa's use to put in neutral going about 35mph in driveway and cut off car😂

[@Hi98765]

you know you lived a wild childhood when you remember this happening to you and know how to execute it yourself as an adult when it happens XD i did it subconsciously just today for the first time in my life

[@ant-man-um4wu]

@@Hi98765yo wanna give a newbie some tips? This happens in my 01 focus and i fear i wont be able to fix it so it would help if i knew what to do when it happens 😂

[@dxffyyy5136]

Or put it in neutral and cost, and start it back up

[@rustiestips]

The vehicle will coast in drive mode as well.

[@SfvThillix]

@@rustiestipsbut it won’t start in drive it’s gotta be parked or neutral

[@danno5805]

Exactly

[@danno5805]

​@@rustiestipsit will slow down quicker because it's in gear 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@cookieward2611]

NO I DO T HAVE STEARING. IT LOCKS UPS

[@PlugRx]

Neutral

[@isharracooper3585]

U you up can also start you vehicle in neutral as well .

[@rustiestips]

True 👍

[@victorgaming4767]

So when this happens what are somethings to check to make sure this does not happen again

[@rustiestips]

Check fuses underneath hood & underneath driver side OBD reader. Most likely alternator went out.

[@MatthewMorrison-k8t]

My steering wheel locks out when it happens🙃

[@rustiestips]

Could be with older cars.

[@jameswood38]

Mine locks up also

[@isharracooper3585]

Your vehicle can start when you put it in neutral not drive.

[@caden5712]

My car did this while I was stopped behind a car in front of me trying to make a left turn. I put it in park, turned off my car, and then turned my car back on and everything was normal on the drive home. Is it still safe to drive?

[@rustiestips]

Good question, there would have to be something going on, plug OBD scanner and see if there are any faults. Most likely there will be.

[@paulcuddle664]

So how’s your car now? We need an update please

[@NevadaLamb]

I had that happen today. Stressed me out cause I’m on a road trip and had 40 miles to drive, and of course there were so many hills! Thankfully nothing bad happened. The CEL did come on, so I’ve got to get that checked out, but just responding to say in my case it was safe for 40 miles.

[@SHAWNGAMINGHD]

Wasnt the case for my grandmas old saturn car it died on the road and the steering and transmission locked up on it to this day its still a mystery [n what caused it to die

[@rustiestips]

Definitely interesting thanks for sharing!

[@peacemaker8352]

It happened once when I first bought my car.

[@ogacct2834]

Sketchy 😂

[@rustiestips]

Someone’s gotta do it 😊

[@weareone4494]

Mine didn’t have stirring for my dodge Dart

[@dariusandrade5801]

I don’t like it when my mom’s car does that because I haven’t had that happen to her in years

[@rustiestips]

Understandable

[@imrin4059]

Can u turn it off while using gas like if gas pedal stuck will turn off make it stop the egine keep goin with stuck pedal?

[@rustiestips]

It cuts power off completely and will stop if throttle all the way down.

[@imrin4059]

@@rustiestips like car with Keys and not start botton like modern car

[@mohammadosman321]

What causes the problem

[@schneir5]

That's why I still prefer a manual transmission.

[@theadventureinsider]

Why does that make a difference

[@matthewdiehl1929]

Just throw it in neutral and restart it?

[@rustiestips]

That would work as well 👍

[@crisfher]

You can put in nutral too

[@jedifoo1420]

How do you fix this?

[@rustiestips]

Explains in the video.

​ what causes the car to do this?

[@kasc5598]

My uncle experience this all the time, luckily during traffic and intersections all the time

[@rustiestips]

Must have been not fun.

[@donvitocorleone6443]

What's the cause of this problem??

[@rustiestips]

Could be electrical issues or anything engine wise.

[@bruhmoment-yt2zp]

Pfft you guys have power steering. Ps if i were to hypothetically stall my car by aciidentally bumping it into reverse while rolling (auto) would i have fucked anything up. I know stalling in a manual is bad for the starter motor etc if you do it too much but ive never been told what happens in an auto stall since its so rare. Not my proudest moment.

[@FLYNNER.]

Ya what happened to NEUTRAL . RESTART while Coasting

[@TwO2ThAt]

If you’re car dies while driving you lose all power including power steering and you can try starting it in neutral also this video is a lie

[@rustiestips]

Yes the vehicle loses power steering, but you can still turn the wheel with both hands (it will take some muscle to do so).

[@JayFade]

What did he even lie about?

[@Jeremy-ds5ew]

And nutrel

[@theshowoflife1075]

What's the cause of it

[@rustiestips]

Engine malfunction

Makes sense
