Consumer Description

JUST AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO 30 MPH TO ENTER A PARKING LOT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN ALL LIGHTS FADED AND TURNED OFF. THE AC TURNED OFF AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF. THE CAR STILL CONTINUED DRIVING BUT THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE, CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE AND JOLT MID TURN. THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING AS THEY NORMALLY WOULD RESULTING IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD ANY OTHER CAR BEEN CLOSE TO ME AT THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC RIGHT AWAY AND HE TESTED EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. EVERYTHING WAS FUNCTIONING AT 100% CAPACITY AND HE COULDN'T FIND A REASON FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN FEAR THAT IT WILL BREAK DOWN OR MY FAMILY OR ANOTHER DRIVER.
