While driving on the highway, my wife's V70 2.5T hits a bump and car dies out, she pulls to side of road and the car will start again. Also sometimes after driving to a store, shut the car off, come back in 5 minutes and try to start the car and it will crank over fine but not start(like it has no spark), shut the key off try again and it starts, Any hints.....NO check engine light on.

Try wiggling the key about when the car is running.

We had a VW 411 that would swing my wife's heavy key chain and shut off the engine during a hard stop. We had a discussion after that!

Hitting a bump and stalling usually points to an electrical connection. Usual suspects are the battery terminals and the ignition switch for those that have a heavy key chain.

Lack of restart on a warm engine could be fuel delivery related.
