Default Car suddenly shut off!

Hey guys,

I was driving today as normal hit a little bump while turning and the car totally shutdown for no reason I was able to turn it on again no issues afterwards but it was weird. Anybody ever have the same thing happen?Could this be a warning for things to come? lol thx ahead of time guys...

Lol I once had a car that did that to me, the weird thing is that it only did it once and never again. I'm guessing it's something electrical but I never found out why my old car did it.

Maybe you could have possibly hit the key while turning and didnt notice because of the bump
