Sudden Power Failura

Experiencing sudden power failure/engine shutoff while driving. All other systems remain on, and car easily restarts. Have recently replaced battery and starter (starter was recalled apparently), and have experienced the issue before and after these replacements.

This is happening while driving down various streets at speed limit, so nothing unusual taking place from a driving standpoint.

All insights into what is happening are appreciated

Might be 'Main Relay' (aka 'fuel pump relay' and 'PGM-FI relay') as it has several failure modes...

Happened to me too. Most Likely the Fuel Pump Relay. I resoldered and worked for about 6 months. Just ordered a new one.
