Reply to comment by kstinfo in Nissan recalling more than 700,000 SUVs that can accidentally shut off while driving by jeetah
A lot of cars from the 80s and 90s did it. The solder formulae used less lead after about the mid-80s, the solder joints would crack, and when the engine computers got old they would intermittently cause stalls. Or ignition switches get worn, that's been happening forever to all kinds of cars from all makes. Or any number of other reasons. I can count five or six off the top of my head that I've owned that had a random stalling on the highway problem when they were old. My old Jeep blew the muffler off once when it stalled and then dumped a bunch of gas into the exhaust - when it restarted there was an earth-shattering kaboom that exploded the muffler.
