Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN MY CAR SHUT OFF OUT OF NO WHERE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET IN A LARGE CITY AND WENT TO TURN RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT, AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO THE LOT THE CAR SHUT OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL AND BREAK LOCKED AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THE CAR START. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OF FRANCIALLY PUSHING THE 'PUSH TO START' BUTTON THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. THANKFULLY WE WERE IN THE PARKING LOT AT THIS POINT BECUASE IF WE WERE STILL ON THE STREET WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
