Engine just shut off on highway and now won't start
Posting from iPhone guys. Will elaborate later. My car randomly shut off while driving on the highway and now I can't get it restarted. What can it be?

You say it "randomly shuts off", so I gather you've been experiencing this behavior for a little while? I gather you don't get a check engine lamp on the display? How long have you been seeing this and has it been gradually getting worse? You say you're boosted, does the time frame of that correspond at all with when you started seeing this behavior -- was it before or after this behavior first appeared?

Happy to learn you solved the problem! Around here, "boosted" means F/I (forced injection), and so brings in a number of factors that aren't a concern for N/A drivers (natural aspiration). Happy driving !

I am having same issue
I can be driving at any speed and motor just shuts off.. even leaving a light and have to turn it over 3-4 times... when I try to restart RPM's go up like normal and then just drop off to dead.. I have taken in into dealer 3 times and it will not throw a code... when motor dies off everything still works gauges, stereo, lights, fog lamps, etc... I am getting frustrated about this.. all fuses are good and dealer says everything is working properly.... anyone else having any other problems.... not boosted, have exeady stage one, and light weight flywheel, has been running fine for a year with these and now have problems. .. please help

My 2008 XB has been doing the same thing! It's happened on the freeway & city streets! Today I almost got hit by a car from behind! It was so scary!! Calling Toyota dealer in the morning! The VCS , Traction, and check engine lights come on sometimes when it happens. Not all the time though! Approximately 90,000 miles.

THIS WAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO ME.
Got stranded today at 6 in the morning 9 hours away from home, xb just shut off. I said damnit, this is it, I'm f'd.
Did a quick search, came up with this query, checked the fuse, sure enough.
THANK YOU OP, you're a life saver!
