Car randomly shuts off..

i'll be driving and my cl will just randomly shut off. its literally like i turn the key off while im driving. When it first started the car would turn off and then right back on. Now it turns off and i have to pull over. When i pull over i can start it right back up. No CEL codes so i think it may be ignition related. It does do it within the first 5 minuted im on the road too. Suggestions?

sounds like a bad ground to me but it could be so many things but a lose ground would be what I looked for first. I am talking about the engine ground that grounds the engine to the frame

See if your car was part of the ignition switch recall

oh! I never knew there was a switch recall. Is this what happened and the reason they had the recall?

Yes, sometimes the car randomly shuts off, it also can result in the key being removed while the car is still running
