While driving at night, all the electrical system in the car shut off for a split second, including but not limited to the headlights, audio system, interior lights, and dashboard. The electronics recovered after the split second, and the car ran normally. The engine was not affected. This issue recurred one month later.

While driving at approx. 45 mph with cruise control engaged; the headlights turned off for about 2 seconds then came back on. When the headlights came back on the traction control light illuminated. The whole issue gave the appearance of part of the electrical system losing power and the power then being restored. During the incident the engine did not appear to lose power, nor did the cruise control disengage.
