Started the car, and drove 2.3 miles and sure enough it happened again. Heat to red, Rpm, speedometer, odometer, economy gauge, all stopped working and car went limp while at a stop. No trans failsafe yet but it came on about 1 mile down the road. ABS and Brake lights were both on, but no service engine until the Trans failsafe came on.

So now I have a new battery, a genuine Bosch reman alternator that was put in 14 months ago and it charges at 13.6V pretty much constant and the same problem. Any other thoughts would be appreciated!
