Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING, IF I DO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL, LIKE APPLYING THE BRAKES OR USING MY TURN SIGNAL, THE ENTIRE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF FOR A SECOND AND SOMETIMES JERKS THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. IT USUALLY RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD IT ALSO WHILE PARKED WITH JUST THE RADIO ON, THAT EVERYTHING JUST DIED. THEN IT TOOK A FEW TRIES BEFORE THE TRUCK ENGINE TURNED OVER TO TRY STARTING IT
