Consumer Description

THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN WHICH THE CAR STOPPED ON ME. ONCE BEFORE I WAS LEAVING MY APARTMENT AND ANOTHER TIME WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO CHURCH. DURING ALL THREE INCIDENTS, I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. THE THIRD TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DASH BOARD ALL OF A SUDDEN LITE UP AND ONE OF THE MESSAGES WAS "LOW PRESSURE". THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND SO DID THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIMES TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (GOOD THING THERE SIDE STRIP. I HAD MY 5 YEAR GRANDSON IN THE CAR SO THAT WAS REALLY SCARY. THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE,I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, THE DIAGNOSTIC SUGGESTS REPLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, IGNITION CYLINDER, ANTI-THEFT AND IGNITION. *TR
