Quite a few times actually.

On my wife's Ford station wagon (fuel injected, 1994 model) the engine would quit and leave us stranded. Then start again 10 minutes later.
I expected vapor locks in the injection system or some such invisible thing.
After the 5 or 6 time we traded it in for a newer vehicle under warranty.

As for the diesel engine in my sailboat, it has never failed us yet, except the time I foolishly ran it out of diesel approaching the dock.(A Perkins 4-108, the best product the Brits have ever made. Hats off.)
