Consumer Description
TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO MY PARENTS HOUSE ON A LONG STRAIGHT AWAY HIGHWAY (55MPH SPEED LIMIT). I BEGAN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS I GOT AROUND HIM MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I PROMPTLY PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL, WHICH WAS FINE. NO OBVIOUS OVER HEATING, SMOKE, OR LEAKS. I DECIDED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS WERE STILL THERE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD ASIDE FROM ONE TINY CRANK NOISE THEN NOTHING. LUCKILY SOMEONE STOPPED AND WE GOT THE CAR STARTED BY JUMPING IT. WENT TO THE LOCAL PARTS STORE AND MY BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR ALL CHECKED OUT OK. NO FURTHER LIGHTS OR ISSUES THE REST OF THE DAY. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCE NOW. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR BEFORE THIS.
