Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN A PARKING GARAGE AND WITHOUT WARNING AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, NO LIGHTS, NO ENGINE, NO POWER STEERING, STIFF BRAKES. I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. SOMEONE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO HELP PUSH MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND NOTHING AND WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A REAL DANGER ON THE ROAD AND NOW MY TRUST IN THE CAR IS SHAKEN! SCARY TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR
