I've had my car for about 4 years without a problem until now.While driving, my car suddenly turns off.After pulling over out of traffic,i start my car up again at ease.I've gone to my mechanic and he tells me it was the gaskets.Apperantly there was oil all over the spark pluggs.After changing the gaskets, it still turned off on me while driving or sometimes on parking.I also found out my battery was bad so i bought a top of the line battery replaced battery cables as well And still the same problem is happening.It turns on like theres nothing wrong but just out of the blues it happens my car turns off.No lights turn on engine check ,oil,abs ,battery nothing .Please help

Hi hugoboss011,

Intermittent problems are always hard to detect and my guess is that it is an electrical control component that is causing this problem.

Since no check lights have been detected, I would suggest replacing the main relay.
