Consumer Description

THIS IS THE TENTH TIME THAT THE COOLANT SYSTEM LIGHTS COME ON AND THE THE CAR STALLS OUT AND WILL ONLY GO APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED THIS TIME WITH A CAR BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME HE HAD TI HIT HIS BREAKS AND GO ACROSS A DOUBLE LINE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME, BLESSEDLY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NOW IT WON"T STAY CHARGED EVEN WITH A NEW BATTERY. AS SOON AS I TURN THE MOTOR OFF THE CAR IS DEAD UNTIL I CHARGE IT AGAIN. IT RUNS FROM POINT A TO B BUT IF YOU TURN IT OFF IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE KEY WONT WORK OR ANYTHING
