Sounds like a ghost in the machine.
Seriously, I had a strange issue on my last vehicle, an 05 Subaru Outback Limited, where my centre console went dark...my radio, HVAC was dead....no lights no power. Happened 3 times during my 4.5 years of ownership.
Restarting the car fixed it. Of course, dealer could not duplicate, but I suspect somewhere there was some faulty wiring that under the right conditions caused the fault.
If it happens again, try video recording it while malfunctioning then restarting the engine while still recording so they can hear proper sound as reference point on the recording. Whether or not that helps the dealer diagnose the problem or not...who knows. But at least prove that you're not crazy.
