Consumer Description

MY MCU WENT OUT AND I HAD NO WORKING HORN OR BLINKERS. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED BY A TRUCK THAT WAS COMING INTO MY LANE AS IF I WASN'T THERE AND I TRIED TO BLOW MY HORN AND I HAD NO HORN TO ALERT HIM OF PRESENTS IN THE LANE HE WAS AND DID MERGE AND I HAD TO HIT MY BRAKES TO AVOID HIM FROM CRASHING INTO US! THIS UNSAFE FOR A CAR THAT IF YOUR MCU GOES OUT YOU LOOSE SOME OF YOUR SAFETY FEATURES THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!
