Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY HORN AND LIGHTS START FLASHING AND AT THE SAME TIME MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WATER STARTED GOING OFF. AS I SLOWED DOWN AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY I NOTICE MY AIR CONDITIONING HAD GONE OFF AS WELL. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO REMAIN CALM THIS WAS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WITH MY 15 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER I EXITED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR NOTHING STOPPED. I PULLED OUT THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE REMAINED STARTED WITH THE HORN, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WATER REMAINED ON. I ENDED UP POPPING THE HOOD AND UNDOING THE BATTERY TO MAKE IT STOP. AFTER 5 MINUTES IT TRIED TO RECONNECT AND IT WAS STILL HAPPENING. I CAME BACK TO THE CAR AFTER 30 MINUTES RECONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THE CAR ACTED AS NORMAL. *TR
