Engine turns off while driving.

[JLinMadison]

My first post and reason to join this forum...while driving my 2002 Explorer XLT 75 mph on freeway, the engine lost power, all dashboard indicators and engine turned completely off. I still had power to my radio and fuzz buster, but all other electronics were dead. After coasting to the shoulder with engine off, I shifted into park, turned the car to off and tried restarting....which worked. No problem the remainder of the trip. I've seen several of identical posts but not for a 2002. Took immediately to the dealer who says the computer turns up nothing, everything checks out fine and they've never heard of this problem. I am the only owner, 122,000 miles and have never had this happen before. But several months ago I had the computer reset after a problem with door ajar chimes and failure of the exterior keypad. What steps can I take with the dealer who says nothing is wrong. Am I experiencing a breakdown of the PCM computer or something else? They have no answers. Help requested. Thanks.
