Consumer Description

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN AND HAS CAUSED MY POWER STEERING TO GO OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT DINGS SO I HAVE SOME NOTICE. BUT NONE THE LESS REALLY SCARY AND VERY HARD TO TURN GOING 20 MPH. MY BRAKES ARE VERY HARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MY THERMOSTAT/ COOLANT INFORMATION IS CURRENTLY DISPLAYED AS DASHES (----) ACROSS MY DASH, MAKING THIS REALLY DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT OR HAS RUN OUT AND MY AC IS CONNECTED TO THIS ALSO SO WHEN IT DECIDES TO WORK MY AC WILL WORK. IT WILL TURN OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING TOO. MY MPH READS MY SPEED GOING 20 MPH OVER WHAT I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING. MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO GET CODES.
