TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH CAR LOST ALL POWER FOR A SECOND OR SO AND THEN CAME RIGHT BACK ON. DURING THIS SECOND OR SO, I HAVE NO POWER BRAKES, STEERING, NOTHING.

ONE TIME BEFORE I REMEMBER AT LEAST A MONTH AGO, THE RADIO JUST CUT OUT FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS FOR NO REASON, AND THE DAY AFTER THE FIRST TIME MY CAR LOST POWER, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN WENT OUT. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE ARE RELATED, BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE ENGINE, ELECTRICAL OR COMPUTER. *AK
