I was driving down a major street when the engine suddenly died. I reacted quickly and was able to coast and pull off onto a side street without interrupting the flow of traffic. I barely made the turn without the power steering. I did some investigating and found that the ignition switch had some burned contacts. That's what caused the sudden loss of power.
