Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN RT 121 AT ABOUT 45/50 MILES PER HOUR, ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD, WHEN THE AUTOMOBILE JUST DIED. I MANAGED TO COAST INTO A SAFE AREA. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. ATTEMPTED TO GET A BATTERY BOOST AND THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TURNING OVER DRY BUT WOULD NOT START. THEN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC FALLS GARAGE.
