Someone mentioned a similar experience on their drive home from the dealer. It turned out to be a loose ground wire near one of the computers.

Yes, I was the one with the loose ground. That is exactly what would happen. We would hit a bump and the car would lose all power and then fire back up a few seconds later. Scary stuff.

Thanks!

It was an interesting experience. I don't know if I'd do it again but I'm glad to say I've done it.

Correct! The car has been flawless ever since. It's almost at 3000 miles.
