Default Can A Car Wash Stall My Car?

I have a 2014 Scion IQ. Since having it it's stalled randomly on me about 3 times. Once while pulling out of intersection (scary). And the other two times I noticed was pulling out of the car wash. Is it possible this is a car getting wet issue? This was the same car wash. The firs time it stalled was after I went through the touchless wash and pulled out onto the street. The second time was after I did the automatic self wash and pulled out into the street (same car wash place different wash). And the third time was just random. Summer. Dry. What is causing this? I can't recreate it for the dealer. It doesn't happen every time at the car wash. But I do remember 2 of the times it was immediately after the car washes.

Use your camera to film before (and if it happens) after. Then review that with the dealer.

Sure, it may not happen every time, but if you can record it before, during and after - then it may help. And if it does not, just delete the file(s).
