My Taurus stopped while running, restarted about 10 minutes later. When it stopped it happened suddenly, the radio etc also stopped. When it restarted I noticed that the radio came on to the same station, thus did not loose power. Suggestions please.

Two possibilities come to mind. 1) Have alternator checked for proper power generation. 2) Possible failing ignition switch. Need testing to be sure.

I have a 2003 Ford Taurus and I had the same problem.. It was the battery. My car did that for about a month or more until it went all the way out. My car started acting like that when it got cold.
