Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON ICY ROADS, THE CAR BEGAN TO SLIDE AND SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. AS I ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE MOTION OF THE CAR, THE ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. AND BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAD SWITCHED OFF, IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR SPUN AROUND AT LEAST 3 COMPLETE ROTATIONS (OF 360 DEGREES) BEFORE SLIDING TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AND COULD NOT IMMEDIATELY BE CHANGED TO PARK. BUT NATURALLY, THE CAR HAD TO BE RESTARTED, WHICH IT FINALLY DID AFTER MUCH EFFORT. AND THE CAR COULD BE PUT INTO PARK AFTER THE ENGINE HAD RESTARTED. *TR
