Consumer Description

BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON, THEN THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT WENT ON THEN ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO MOVE, CAR GAVE ME JUST ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE BIKE LANE. THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T GO IN TO ANY POSITION EXCEPT DRIVE, THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF, ALL ELECTRIC WENT OUT. AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF THE CAR TRYING TO DRIVE BY ITSELF AND HEATING UP WITH SMOKE, THE CAR FINALLY LOST ALL POWER AND TURNED OFF ALLOWING ME TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THEN THE SCREEN AND LIGHTS CONTINUED TO GO OF AND ON AND CONTINUED UNTIL A SERVICE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO TOW ME. HE CHARGED THE BATTERY TO ALLOW ME TO ROLL WINDOWS UP AND STATED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR NOT HOLDING POWER TO THE CAR. *TR
