Consumer Description

WHEN I WAS PARKED I WAS ROLLING THE WINDOWS WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND ALL THE LIGHTS AND CAR WAS CUTTING OFF. WHILE I'M DRIVING I LOSE POWER ALL MY DASH LIGHTS GO OUT AND WHILE MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP TO WHERE I CAN NOT CORRECT MYSELF FROM TURNING SO I HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET UNTIL THE POWER COMES BACK ON.
