Consumer Description

CAR RADIO KEPT CUTTING ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE ALL OF THE CAR LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD AND STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CUT THE CAR OFF AND PULLED OUT THE KEY. I PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. THE LIGHTS AND RADIO DIDN'T EVEN COME ON. I COULDN'T PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE OFF SWITCH NOR COULD I PULL THE KEY OUT. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OR SO MY RADIO CAME ON AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START MY CAR. *TR
