I hit pothole this morning,and the car shut off,I pulled over and tried to restart it,but it starts then cuts right off,just wondering if anyone else experience this,if so could u please tell me what the deal is
Have you relocated the wiring harness in the drivers side front wheel well ? If not I would pull the wheel off and see if there are any wires hanging out of it.
You would think a pothole that bad would have bent a rim. Would the inertia switch allow the engine to start at all ? Other times when that have tripped on family members cars it has always resulted in a total no start situation.
once i hit a dip in the road and my car shut off turns out one of the battery terminals came loose. check as many plugs and switches as you can, and also you're alternator.

Im pretty sure the battery has no purpose in the car after its sparked the engine on. Thats where the alternator comes in
Check you battery terminals. Check if they are clean and stuff, i used to have a jeep with loosie loo battery terminals and everytime I would mess around it would turn off!
DO IT!

if the battery becomes disconnected its a open circuit, so the car wont run. im pretty sure the alternator runs through the battery even though it doesn't use its power. the battery is used just for cca to start the car and to complete the circuit...
thats why my car turned off when the terminal came loose.
