Consumer Description

FIRST,I RECEIVED WARNING FOR "BATTERY SAVER MODE" ON DASHBOARD. LATER IN THE DAY, I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE VISIT AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN RIGHT THERE. ALL LIGHTS WENT CRAZY AND CAR PUT ITSELF IN NEUTRAL VERY VIOLENTLY. I AM AFRAID OF THIS CAR AND WHAT IT MAY DO IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT A HIGHER SPEED. ONCE THE CAR TOOK OVER CONTROL, I COULD NOT SHUT IT OFF, PUT IT IN GEAR, OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. DEALER SAYS ITS SIMPLY A BAD BATTERY AND I AM VERY LEERY OF THE DEALER'S DIAGNOSIS AT THIS POINT. *TR
