Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD AND ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT ONCE-ABS, CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, ETC. ALL MY LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. MY HEAD LIGHTS BEGAN TO GET VERY DIMMED SO I TRIED SWITCHING MY FOG LIGHTS OR HIGH BEAMS ON BUT THAT ONLY MADE IT WORSE AND THE LIGHTS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN GOING VERY SLOW MAKING IT REALLY HARD TO SEE AS IT WAS RAINING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO A SIDE STREET. MY CAR FELT STRANGE WHILE DRIVING LIKE I WASNT ABLE TO ACCELERATE SO ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE SOMEWHERE AND GET MY CAR IN PARK, ALL MY LIGHTS FLICKERED HEAVILY AND SHUT OFF 1 BY 1 AND THEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER COMPLETELY. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED BACK HOME BC NOTHING WOULD START IT.
