Just wild guesses.
Guy I knew bought a C4 Corvette, the first year out and the thing would die at random. He finally convinced the dealer to take it back as a lemon and got a new one, same year, different color.

Why the dealer told him IDK, but after they took it back they found a screw holding the windshield visor to the frame had just barely punctured a wire up there in the frame. So I guess every time he put the top down or used the visor, it would quit right then and there.
