Default Fail Safe Mode on 05 gt

I have an '05 gt. The fail safe mode has activated twice on my '05. Once at 9500 miles, and now again at 12,200 miles. The dealer ran daignostic the first time and said test came back clean. Car is at dealer again for the same problem but the dealer has already advised that if the problem can't be replicated they can't fix it. When the fail safe mod eactivates the vehicle bogs down, a/c shuts off and car looses power. You can let it set for 10-15 minutes and it will run normal. Dealer says its probably not a problem...just a "glitch in the computer". Has anyone else had any problems or any suggestions. Thanks for your time. Oh and by the way, I am really enjoing this forum!
