Hello alexandre_trudel,
I believe the movie you recall is the 1997 movie ?Breakdown? starring Kurt Russell.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118771/
?Jeff (Kurt Russell) and Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are moving from
Massachusetts to San Diego, taking the scenic route through the desert
in their new shiny red Jeep Cherokee, the payments on which are
killing them. But they're a happy couple despite their financial
problems. And that's all we know about them, and all we need to know.
Because two seconds into Breakdown, writer/director Jonathan Mostow
revs up a nightmare, and it doesn't stop for a terse, tight 90
minutes. Cruising through the desert, Jeff takes his eyes off the
empty road for a moment, and a beat-up pickup truck pulls out in front
of him from nowhere, sending both vehicles into desperate swerves. It
seems a deliberate provocation, but Jeff plays cool when they run into
the pickup at the next gas station.?

?Breakdown stars Kurt Russell as Jeff Taylor, a garden-variety yuppie
(lavender Ralph Lauren Polo shirts, a gleaming new red Jeep Cherokee),
who, along with his wife Amy (Quinlan), is taking the "scenic route"
through a deserted stretch of highway, en route to California. The
Jeep dies, leaving the couple stranded somewhere outside of Brackett,
Ariz. Fortunately (or not, as the case may be), help appears in the
form of an 18-wheeler semi with a psychopathic trucker (Walsh) who
offers to give Amy a ride into town to call for help. Well, to make a
short scene even shorter, Amy vanishes into thin air.?

A user comment on IMDb:
?In the beginning we see a happily married couple Jeff & Amy Taylor
(played to the cue by Kurt Russell & Kathleen Quinlan)hitting the open
road. After leaving a gas station (where I will never leave the hood
of my car propped up again) their Jeep Cherokee breaks down and do the
the fact that they are in the middle of nowhere their cell phones are
out of range to call for help.?
Coincidently, (perhaps)? a trucker named 'Red' (the late and very
talented J.T. Walsh) happen to drive by to offer assistance and Jeff
(in his one weak moment but nobody's perfect) agrees to let his wife
hitch a ride to the nearest town while he waits behind.
Tick tock, tick tock. Time starts to get the best of Jeff and in a
state of mild panic he inspects the SUV and discovers a few loosened
wires which turns out to be the reason the Jeep stalled, and then yep,
it's now running like a dream. (I was expecting something like that
since it's doubtful the makers of Jeep Cherokee would allow anything
else).
Now things are getting bad. Jeff arrives in town only to discover that
Amy never arrived and nobody has scene a thing.?
