My 2008 chevy suburban with 94,000 miles stalled while in traffic traveling at about 20 MPH without warning. I luckily was able to coast it to the side of the road and after letting it sit for a short time it did restart again but only to stall again after the car ran for another 5 minutes again traveling at about 20 MPH.
