Hello!

I am a proud owner of a 2009 370Z, and it has been running very well with frequent services. However, I have been running into an odd electrical (I think) problem over the past two days.

First time: I stepped back into my car to try to start it, but the whole electrical system seems to have shutdown - the lights / remote control / pushing on the ignition was met with silence, and even the door was seemingly stuck. The car came back to life after about 5 minutes, but all the settings were lost.

Second time: I turned my car off after arriving, and the power was out again - I had to wait a number of minutes for the car to turn itself back on

Third time: I pressed ignition to try to start the car, and the power loss happened again. I think I waited 5 to 10 minutes (enough time for me to exit out of the passenger seat to open the hood) before the car's electrical power came back.

Is this a common problem for a Z that is 10 years old?

Thanks!
