Anyways, I remember that two years ago my car suddenly turned off by itself. It was an extremely hot dry Friday when it happened. I had just gotten off of work, and drove home which is basically a 30-40 minute drive due to traffic. I want to say it was in the high 90s considering that I do live in Texas. It was as I was pulling into my drive way that my car shut off by itself. I just turned it back on, drove my car 5ft into the driveway, and shut it off immediately. Has this ever happened to anyone?
I just figured I'd share it with the ft86 community
My experience was with my 2010 Corolla where I had to jump start it due to a bad battery. Drive it down the street and the car dies in the middle of the intersection. No power steering (or any steering in that case), lights, or boosted brakes. I assumed once you jump it and the car is running off the alternator, the battery strength wouldn't matter but I guess it does.

This just happened earlier this week.
