The other day I was driving down the street and the car shut off, power, engine, everything. It rolled for a few seconds and just as I started to freak out a little bit it started back up and drove fine for a few miles. Then at an intersection it did the same thing, just died and wouldn't start back up (but strangely the clock and headlights, hazards etc still worked so I know they were getting power). I popped the hood and wiggled some things around, really had idea what was going on. Got back it and it started back up. Hasn't happened since. Anyone have a clue what that could be? Thanks.

Check battery terminals. An older car I had had frayed and corroded wiring that mimicked your symptoms
