Description of the problem	This has happened a few times now. Was told by dealer they have to be driving it when the problem occurs. Twice now, i lost all electrical power. No lights, no hazards, no power steering. It is like i have no battery at all. Everything is dead. One time i was parked, and lost all power, came back on in a few minutes. The second time, it was dark out. I had just made a turn, aprox 100 feet after, i lost all power again. This time i was in motion, cars behind me, i had absolutely no lights. No hazards. I wasn't even able to make it to the shoulder, it happened so quickly. Luckily it was a turn and vehicles hadn't reached the speed limit yet. Not only could i have been hit, but the other vehicles behind me as well. My car wasn't easily noticable. The car behind me was able to stop in time before rear ending me, and turned their hazards on. The power to my vehicle was back on about two minutes. Periodically the car will also just die, at idle or in traffic at low speeds. It doesn't lose complete power when this happens though. It will start again right away.
