Description of the problem	While driving at a constant speed on the highway, the engine stalled causing the brakes and power steering to be disabled. The first time it happened, 11/12/16, i was taking an exit off of the freeway. When i pressed the brake to slow down for the approaching red light, the pedal was stiff and would bot slow the vehicle. Thankfully, the light turned green so i let the vehicle coast. As i went to turn right, i realized there was no power steering either. After crossing over 2 lanes i was able to bring the car to a stop on the side of the road. That's when i realized the engine had stalled. Brought it to the dealership, paid $700 for something, then drove it back since they said it was fixed. Five months later, 4/20/17, same exact thing happened. It was 8:30am and i was bringing my 18mo old to daycare when i pressed the brake pedal to stop at a red light ahead and realize it was stiff and not working again. Fortunately, again, the light turned green and the car in front of me accelerated. I fought with the steering wheel to turn into a nearby gas station after the letting vehicle coast to a slower speed. After both incidences, i turned the vehicle off, waited a few minutes, then turned it back on. It hesitated a few times then cranked and functioned properly afterwards. Furthermore, during both incidences i was very slightly turning to the right; the first time to exit the hwy and the second time i was veering into the right lane. During the first incident, i was travelling on the freeway around 65mph. During the second, i was traveling at about 50mph.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
