Default Re: Random surging and power loss on highway

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. Anyone have a similar experience?
I had the same problem and it was the fuse block. The dealer said another customer had the same problem and they finally figured it out. Before, this dealer fixed it, 2 other dealers gave up trying to fix the problem.
