Consumer Description

THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON AND I WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND ON MY WAY BACK THE CHARGING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MILES AN HOUR IN A CURVE WHEN ALL SYSTEMS WENT DOWN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP AND I LOST BRAKING, STEERING AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS. AND I WAS VERY LUCKY TO NOT HAVE WRECKED THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
