Default Car Trouble

My 6S just turned off by itself while in Drive. I started the car back up and it was ok. Could it be a loose battery? Dirty Fuel? What could it be? Any remedies?

Is most probably a fault in the electronicaly controlled throttle body. Have been know to glitch and temporarily reset to default closed position which would case a stall. Hopefully set a code and CEL with a throttle body related code.

Mazda says that since the car turns back on after it stalls and the dash lights up they won't tow it to the dealer and they can't see what the problem is (can't replicate it). I spoke to Mazda corporate to see what I could do under the lemon law since it's happenned at least 4 times this past year. I also want to take it to the dealer to give me a loaner and have them keep the car untill they figure out what is causing it to turn off suddenly whle in Drive.

Any suggestions?
