I think I did hit the key when I was giving my girl my phone on the freeway, could that have done it?

My car used to shut off if you unlatched the steering wheel and slammed in down as far as it would go. A reflash fixed that.

Used to happen to my buddies 05, but nothing was ever found and it hasn't happened in a while. Happend to me on 3 occasions over 2 years, I replaced the crank position sensor and it has been good so far, but only time will tell.

it happened to me a few times usually after hitting a pothole supposedly it is a safety feature thats triggered in case of accdents but going over potholes might shut it off also.

Had that happen to me when I hit a bump in the road from unleveled pavement. It was a very aggressive transition in the road and when I hit it I thought I blew both tires and f**ked the front end up. The car shut down but started right back up again.

yes if you turn the key to the off position it will cut the car off, if you do not have a CEL or running problems. Then most likely it is nothing at all.
