Why would a car shut off while at a red light?

Asked by eadinad (1278points) May 13th, 2009

My sister just bought a used car that seemed to be in good shape. She also replaced the battery just in case. However, that same day the engine just turned off while she was sitting at a red light. It started back up with no problem, though.

Why did this happen? Will it be likely to keep happening? It’s an automatic, by the way.
