Car died while driving for no apparent reason . It happened three times today . I bought a new battery and it did it again. the lady checked battery and said it was getting a full charge which did not indicate the alternator being bad. It starts right back up after seizing.

May be a sensor acting up with heat, run a scan to see if there are any fault codes set in the ECU.

Get that scan done it should give a fault code that we can work with.
