2004 Chevrolet Corvette Electrical system Problems

“I was driving on a highway at 65mph in a bumpy construction zone. All of a sudden, without warning, the engine completely shut down. I was able to steer the car off to the shoulder of the road. After letting the car sit for a minute, I was able to restart the car and immediately drove it back home on a surface street and took it to the dealer the next day. The dealer put it on the scope and could find no problems with the car. …”

The service manager told me there were no recalls, orders, or tech orders for that model car. Have other occurrences been reported? I haven't seen any on the Corvette blogs.”
