I had the same problem...fortunately, it happened to me under warranty and it DID reproduce itself the morning I took it to the dealer about 2 years ago. They also told me the "specs for output are fine" for the alternator and voltage regulator, but they replaced the alternator anyway, under warranty. Cured the problem. Others have cured the problem by just replacing the voltage regulator.
