Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR MADE A JERKING MOTION, AS IT HAD DID ONE DAY PRIOR AS WELL. I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND THE EPS LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ONE MORE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR FORWARD AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACK. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO TRY AND RESTART IT, BUT THE BREAK WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN FOR ME TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE I SHOWED TWO SERVICE TECHNICIANS THE PHOTO OF THE DASHBOARD THAT I TOOK, AND BOTH SAID THAT MY ENGINE HAD CUT OFF. THEY KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND DROVE ON IT TO TRY AND RECREATE THE PROBLEM, ALONG WITH RUNNING MULTIPLE TESTS, AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. *TR
