Thanks for all the messages so far.
I think you are right about the alarm batteries. I'll work on switching them out ASAP.
The ABS module problem is something I've already dealt with. It has a newly rebuilt module (about 6 weeks old).
Here are the facts (some new, some already stated):
The engine did not die. The first time it happened, I had a hard time believing it and told him so. He insisted the engine was still running until he shut it down. Then it happened to him 3 or 4 times within the next fifteen minutes and he was positive that was the case.
I grilled him about the steering wheel and he said he could barely turn it enough to veer the car over to the side of the road. I have the car here with me now so I got in and surprisingly, the wheel does not "lock up" the way I would expect even with the ignition switch in "Lock" and the key out. It can be turned with difficulty like any power steering without power. Same with the brakes.
The serpentine belt is still there and working. I think we can rule out the possibility of the belt temporarily sticking as this would have made quite a racket and my son said the engine sounded completely normal until he turned it off.
Keep thinking! For now, I guess there's nothing left but to take it out and see if it will do the same thing to me. If I make it back in one piece, I'll give you an update. Thanks again!
