I was on an interstate heading home in the rain. Traffic was moving about 10 mph. I tried to accelerate, but I didn't go anywhere. My car died and the entire dashboard was blank-no lights at all. I was able to get to the shoulder of the interstate. I put the car in park, shut if off, and it restarted with no problem. Has not occurred before. Obviously, a very dangerous situation to be in.
