Consumer Description

MULTIPLE TIMES NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED... I'LL GIVE YOU THE MOST NERVE WRACKING EXPERIENCE, WHERE I HONESTLY WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE. IT WAS 10:30PM, I WAS DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM A FRIENDS, ON A TINY 2 LANE ROAD GOING 55, ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF MY POWER CUT OUT! NO RADIO, HEADLIGHTS, HAZARD LIGHTS WOULDN'T EVEN WORK!!! I HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN THE PITCH BLACK DARKNESS, HOPING TO GOD THERE WASN'T ANY DEER. ON TOP OF THAT... JUST WAITING FOR ANOTHER CAR TO TURN DOWN THE ROAD I WAS ON, BARRELING AT ME AT 55MPH. I WAS TERRIFIED! MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. THE ELECTRIC FINALLY CAME BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES... BUT THIS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT ENDING.
