Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR WHILE APPROACHING TRAIN TRACKS THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T DO SO. I HAD JUST ENOUGH MOMEMTIUM TO GET ME OVER THE TRACKS. I PULLED ONSIDE THE SHOULDER SHUT THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN I TRIED TO CUT ON CAR AGAIN IT SHUT IMMEDIATELY OFF. I SAT THERE 10-15 MINS AND IT CUT BACK ON. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING IT AGAIN IT CUT OFF AGAIN AFTER 5 MINS. THIS WENT ON FOR ALMOST AND HOUR FOR ME TO GET HOME WHICH WAS ONLY 1/4 MILE AWAY.
