HAPPENED 3 TIME NOW. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, IDLING ALONG, IN PARKING LOT. EACH TIME I WAS IN GEAR (DRIVE) MOVING AT IDLING SPEED E.G. PARKING LOT CRAWL. ALL ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF JUST LIKE I HAD TURNED THE KEY OFF. ALL LIGHTS OFF, AC OFF, RADIO OFF, ENGINE OFF, EVERYTHING OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING - JUST TURNS OFF. VEHICLE RESTARTS FINE WITH NO IMMEDIATE RECURRENCE. FOR SOME REASON IT SIMPLE TURNS ITSELF OFF. IT'S GOING TO BE BAD IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC.
