Consumer Description

APPROXIMATELY FOUR NIGHTS AGO, AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, MY SMART CAR LOST ALL POWER AND CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE IGNITION, EVEN THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE AND THE RADIO INSIDE THE CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS FORCED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO START THE VEHICLE BACK. AS SOON AS I DID THIS, THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL AND I COMPLETED THE JOURNEY HOME. *TR
