We were driving on a 3 lane highway at night, stopped at a red light. Suddenly, the car went completely dead - no lights or power.

The start/stop engaged and when i went to accelerate again the power train fault illuminated. In order to move the vehicle, i had to put the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle.
