Hmmm, nerve wracking! I seem to recall one similar incident reported here several years ago, but no subsequent diagnosis. It is certainly not a common problem - hopefully the dealership will fix it and you will then have the reliability that most of us have enjoyed!

It doesn't sound like you had quite the same cause in your case, but it is possible to knock the drive lever from "D" to "R" when driving. This causes the car to go into Neutral with complete power loss. Just shove it to Drive when that happens.
