Consumer Description

My engine is shutting down, sometimes in the middle of me driving. My car will shut done and I will stop in the middle of merging into traffic. Or waiting at a light my car will shut down. I almost got rear ended today because my car randomly shut down. No warning lights are on. I have looked up information and this exact problem is happening with other 2016 keep compasses. The dealer I contacted just told me that there were no codes that could be read so he couldn’t tell me what was wrong. I also took my car to advance for them to check everything and the gentleman there also told me no codes were reading. This has been happening for about a month.
