Engine Shutting Down

For the last 2 days in a row, this has happened to me. Cruising on my way home doing around 50-55, the engine lost power and just turned off. Lucky on both occasions, I was able to pull over on the side of the Freeway.
On the first incidence, I have 2 bars left on my gas gauge so I thought it was a mis-calibrated fuel gauge and I just ran out of gas. After I pulled over on the side of the freeway, I tried restarting the engine but it won't start. I called AAA and they put in a gallon of gas and it started fine. After a mile or so, all the warning lights came on (traction control, oil, engine, etc) but the engine was running fine. I went in to a gas station and filled the tank. Starting the engine, the warning lights were all lighted. When I got home, I disconnected and reconnected the battery and all warning lights went away.
The next day, on the same location as the previous night, I lost engine power again and the engine shut down. I pulled over and waited a few minutes. I restarted the engine and it was fine again.
I called the Dealership and my friendly Service Advisor is off today so I will bring her in tomorrow. My GK is only 2 months old with 1,400 miles on it. Wondering if any other GK owner had the same experience. I never had this problem on both my GDs (USDM and PHDM).

Check out the "Dash Warning Lights Keep Coming on" thread and see if that's similar. There's currently no solution to the problem, and Honda engineers are investigating.
