Consumer Description

CAR WHILE IT'S RUNNING GETS A SECURITY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALL GAUGES READ ZERO BESIDES THE RPMS JUMPING TO A THOUSAND. AN DISPLAY SAYING LOW FUEL AND POWER STEERING AND WHEN TRY TO CHANGE DISPLAY IT READS ---------- AND IT DID THE SAME THING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND ONLY THE SECURITY LIGHT STAYED ON. VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN IT'S HAPPENING IT'S LIKE IT'S DISABLED.
