Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAVALIER TO PICK UP MY WIFE. AS I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION, THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE BEGINNING OF A LEFT TURN LANE AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. WITH THE HELP OF MY PASSENGER AND A POLICE OFFICER, WE MOVED THE CAR ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAVEL TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR HAD 116,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE ONLY WARNING BEFORE THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND DRIVE-ABILITY WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNING ON BRIEFLY. *TR
