Something similar happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I was sitting at a
red light when the engine just kinda shuddered and died like it had run out
of fuel (I still had a quarter of a tank left). I turned the key and it
started right back up, then when I got home I ran the diagnostic test and
got no fault codes. It hasn't done that since that one time <crossing
fingers, knocking on wood> but just in case, keep us informed about what
you find out and what the dealer did.
