Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING, IT ACTS DEAD, BUT THE BATTERY IS OKAY. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT DOES START BUT THEN I HAVE THE DASH LIGHT BEHAVING CRAZY - EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND VARIOUS MESSAGES IN MY CENTER DASH. I RESET EVERYTHING TO NORMAL AND AM OKAY. UPON A RESTART LATER IN THE DAY, THINGS ARE USUALLY OKAY. BEING A SENIOR CITIZEN I DON'T GO VERY FAR BUT YESTERDAY, AS I WAS ENTERING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT, A HUGE TRAILER TRUCK WAS BEARING DOWN ON ME AND LUCKILY THE CAR STARTED BACK UP JUST IN TIME. THE BUICK DEALER (DARBY) TREATED ME RUDELY OVER A MINOR PROBLEM SO NOW I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO OR WHAT TO DO FOR HELP ON THIS ISSUE. *TR
