Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS POPPED UP ON THE DASH 'POWER STEERING' 'SERVICE ESC OFF' 'BRAKE LIGHT' 'SERVICE AIR BAG' AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. TRYING TO GET THE CAR PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT TO MY LEFT I WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THE TURNING PROCESS WAS SO HARD. AFTER PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON IT GOES AWAY THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS POP ON AGAIN. THIS TIME AFTER A FEW SECONDS EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD GOES BLANK INCLUDING THE RADIO AND THEN THE CAR DIES OUT DRAINING THE CARS BATTERY COMPLETELY.
