Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A RURAL ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND IT ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF. I HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER AT THAT POINT AND SO I WASN'T ABLE TO USE THE HAZARD LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS. I ALSO WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OR BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL COULD NOT BE DEPRESSED AT ALL. ONCE I COASTED TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SAT FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, ELECTRICAL POWER RETURNED (THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED). I WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE AWAY. *TR
