You could have been anticipating a right hand turn then hit the kill switch instead of the turn signal... Sounds funny, but like I posted in another thread, it DID happen to me!

Gremlins will sometimes "appear", as an electrizical short. Li'l BASTUDS !!!!!

IF, by chance, you already have one, THEN check for codes, tight connections, and WATCH THAT THUMB

120k? Isn't 120,000 mph getting pretty close to Warp 1? Maybe you need to flash the ECM for Warp speeds.

Just happened for the first time a few weeks ago on my 07 SG. I'll have to do a search on the speed sensor...

There are a lot of posts on here that describe a similar problem. A large number are reported to be loose battery cables. Second place seems to go to speed sensor.

Mine died once from a loose wire on the harness.

My '06 did it one time, 65000 miles ago. I attributed it to "possible" water in the gas or gremlins.
