Your car experienced a problem where it would briefly lose power and stop completely while driving, then resume normal operation — though this happened repeatedly. Your steering wheel angle sensor had failed, which triggered the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light on your dashboard. An independent mechanic replaced the faulty sensor to fix the issue.
