Consumer Description

THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT LIGHTS CAME ON (EMERGENCY LIGHTS BLINKING, TURN INDICATORS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR, ETC.). THE HORN WAS BLARING ALSO AND THE KEY WAS IN MY POCKET. I THOUGHT I HIT THE EMERGENCY BUTTON BY ACCIDENT SO I PULLED OUT THE KEY AND HIT THE BUTTON OFF. IT WOULD NOT STOP. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT. IT WENT OFF FINALLY. SO, I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AND ALL THE STUFF STARTED AGAIN. SO, I CAME HOME WHILE I COULD. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. *TR
