3rd time at this point. While driving the vehicle suddenly the wipers turn on and dashboard lights begin to flash followed by vehicle shutting off by itself. Once the vehicle dies it will not restart. 1st trip to dealer could not replicate. 5 hours later vehicle died while driving and was towed back to dealer-dealer able to replicate and replaced tipm (totally integrated power module). 3 days later problem returned with vehicle failing to start while parked in driveway. Going back to dealer this morning. This is an incredibly dangerous situation if vehicle unexpectedly and randomly dies while in motion and in traffic.
