Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH ON A LOCAL SIDE STREET AND THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD WENT BLACK AND THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. I WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND DROVE IT HOME (~1 MILE FROM HOME). I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT THERE.
