Consumer Description

AFTER STALLING OUT THE ENGINE OF MY 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN 1ST GEAR, THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN AND IN FACT LOST ALL POWER. IT WAS JUMP STARTED, BUT IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, IT SPUTTERED AND LURCHED FORWARD, THEN DIED AGAIN. WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AS IT WAS UNDRIVABLE. LUCKY WE WERE JUST IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT OUT ON THE ROAD OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. EVEN THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS WOULD NOT TURN ON DUE TO NO POWER. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND THAT THE BATTERY CABLES WERE MELTED. *TR
