Consumer Description

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE SCREEN WAS BLACK. MY CAR HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN FOR 5 MONTHS SINCE I WAS TRAVELING. I HAD CLEARED ALL OF THE MEMORY (NAVIGATION, ADDRESSES, MUSIC STATIONS, ETC.), PRIOR TO LEAVING. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND THE TURNING SIGNALS DIDN'T WORK. THE SAFETY OF THE CAR FELT COMPROMISED SINCE THE TURNING SIGNALS, REAR BACKUP CAMERA, SUSPENSION -BASICALLY MOST OF THE CAR CONTROLS WERE IN-OPERATABLE.
