Description of the problem	I was driving at about 30mph when my vehicle just shut down w/o warning/symptoms. My lights still worked but the vehicle totally shut down and locked up otherwise and i coasted to a stop mid roadway. Key was stuck in ignition and in the on position and wouldn't let me turn key to any other position and key wouldn't come out so i sat until battery died which shut the vehicle off. When vehicle initially lost power and came to a stop i tried to put vehicle into park and attempt a restart which is when i realized the key and ignition wouldn't move and then vehicle wouldn't move out of park either. Also at the moment my car shut down,i glanced down at dash and saw system warning message flash stating abs error but was unsure if this was the only message it had flashed or if this was just the last one that i caught and they had possibly all flashed as part of the malfunction but had never heard of anything brake related cause an entire vehicle system to shut down totally and be dead as a result with total lockup of all controls. I had to have vehicle towed home and have had nothing but confusion from all of the tow truck drivers, mechanic friends, etc. As to what or why this would happen. They all suggested that it seemed to be my computer or electrical possibly because the car was totally dead and did not make any noise or click or anything but silence when attempting to power back and restart. I had my two kids with me and one was a baby in a torrential downpour of a rainstorm and this was my vehicle stranded mid corner in a blind spot with no way of moving car from danger of middle of road or even being able to remove my key so as to abandon the vehicle out of safety concern. This is not the only case of this happening to this vehicle from what i am reading on consumer reported incidents and complaints/investigations. This needs to be a recall and it is all electrical error related.
