Default Help - Total loss of power on the road!

I'm new to the forum, but not to Crossfire. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a TOTAL loss of power on the highway. I have a 2004 coupe (5-spd automatic) and am the original owner (108K mi). Two weeks ago while in rush hour traffic which had just brought me to a stop, the car totally lost all power as I took my foot off the brake to resume inching forward in traffic. I had no electrical at all...couldn't even put on my emergency flashers (bad because it was dark and I and my dark red car were sitting in the left lane of traffic); the engine did not turn over at all...not even a click when I turned the key. Amazingly, after about 15 minutes and having tried the ignition several times and the tow truck was on it's way, I turned the key one more time and the car started up! I still had it towed in to an ASE certified Chrysler service dept where they spent several hours in diagnostics and tests and couldn't find a thing wrong; no codes, nothing. Anyone have a similar experience? I have now driven the car around town and had no problem but have a low confidence level in driving it to and from work again until I can find an explanation.
