Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, A LOUD CHIME SOUNDED, WITH A RED TRIANGLE SAYING, "STOP SAFELY NOW" AS WELL AS A YELLOW "SEE MANUAL" INDICATION. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WAS SUDDEN AND WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OF THE STREET SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, 2 DAYS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED BUT THIS TIME I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP.
