Description of the problem	July 3, 2016: we bought the car. July 23 5pm i filled up with gas at the chevron. Drove to west la for 15 miles on the 10 fwy with my family in the car, no problem to visit my mom. 8:30pm we left her house to go home. We drove on the street for two minutes and we came to a stop light i braked to a complete stop, and the car died. The dash board screen said put your car in park and start the car. It was dark and many cars were behind me, waiting for me to start my car. We were afraid the car behind us would hit us. My daughters were sitting in the back seat, and my wife in the front passenger seat. I put it in park, tried to start. But it did not, so i pumped the accelerator, then it started. I drove onto the freeway on ramp, got on the 10 fwy heading east. Traffic was good at first, everyone was going 60 mph. Then suddently, the the freeway traffic was bumper to bumper and i had to brake to slow down quickly. When i did, the car died on me again. The dashboard screen said to put the car in park and start my engine. Now, we all began to panic because the cars behind us were going fast, and they might smash into us. We were afraid we would die or be badly injured by the collision coming. Luckily the car behind me stopped without hitting us. Once again, i put it in park, pumped my accelerator, and the car started. At this point, i decided, no matter how slow the freeway traffic is, i will l not brake, because if i do, the car will stall, and we can get hit by the car behind us. So i drove very slowy until we got off the freeway, and arrived home. August 2, 2016: 6:30am i filled up the tank at the shell gas station near my house, being careful not to overfill it. Then i tried to drive to work but the exact same thing happened.
