Car Shut Down Doing Normal Operation

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I’m sorry to hear you're having trouble with your MKC. If your car suddenly shut off while cruising at 65 mph, that’s definitely concerning. It could be caused by a failing crankshaft position sensor, a faulty fuel pump, or a low system voltage issue. Sometimes, a loose battery connection or ground wire can also cause a sudden loss of power. Since it happened during normal driving, I’d recommend having the vehicle scanned for trouble codes—even if the check engine light isn’t on. That can give you a clearer direction on what’s going on. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
