Sounds like charging system. Could be battery or alternator. Tell me more...are you driving and it "suddenly stops"?

How old is the battery?

I think i am having the same problem and I have a 09. If i jump into the car and start up instantly the car it will not start. All power from all electronic equipments will be drained by the starter to start the car. If i wait until the steering wheel finish adjusting itself and stereo fully powered and start the car, it works fine. Still trying to find some consistency. Hopefully someone experienced this before and found the solution.

If your car is a 2009 should be under warranty . Go to the dealer
