Consumer Description

AS I WAS WAITING FOR LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CAR STALLS. IT WAS ACTING AS IF I HAD PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND ACCELERATE THE GAS. ON MY DASH BOARD I NOTICE THE SYMBOL AS IF MY TRACTION WAS ON. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TRIES TO RESTART IT. IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. NOT EVEN MAKING A SOUND. MIND YOU I AM AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY.
