My Mazda Tribute stalls at high speeds. Most recently, going downhill at 45 mph. Engine died, battery lights and oil lights turned on... no warning at all. I lost power to the steering wheel and brakes. Very dangerous because it happened so suddenly, and there was no safe place to get off the road. This is the third incident with this car, the second stalling. My car only has 21,000 miles.

Vehicle going uphill, engine stopped, brakes were used to stop vehicle from rolling downhill, engine light, battery light and oil light came on. No components working inside of the car except the windows. Car remained stationary for 20 minutes waiting on help and then started after several tries. Slight shimmy while driving to the dealer, along with tachometer jumping about on at a steady speed.
