Consumer Description

WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50MPH I NOTICED WELL INTO A LEFT VEERING MERGE, THAT MY VEHICLE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. ALL THE ACCESSORIES WERE STILL RUNNING AS FAR AS RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER WHILE THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASH. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN A COCKED POSITION AS WELL AS LOSING THE ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKES. I WAS FORCED TO SLAM THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO THE FLOOR TO GET MY VEHICLE TO STOP BEFORE BEING CRUNCHED FROM ONCOMING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AT 60 TO 80+ MPH. WHILE ALSO TRYING TO AVOID FROM BEING REAR ENDED! ONCE I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE STOPPED I WAS ABLE PLACE IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION. AFTER RESTARTING THE IGNITION THE CAR SEEMED FINE. *TR
