Consumer Description

ON FEBRUARY 1, SHORTLY AFTER 9:00 PM CENTRAL THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, HAVING JUST PASSED AS SEMI A BIT EARLIER. I INSTINCTIVELY TRIED TO START IT WHILE IT WAS MOVING, CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO GO OFF WHILE I'M DOING 75 MPH. AT THAT POINT STARTED TO PULL OVER, THOUGH I COULD BARELY SEE THE CONCRETE DIVIDER AND HAD TRIED TO KEEP THE TIRES ON THE RUMBLE STRIP AS I SLOWED DOWN UNTIL I COULD SEE THE BARRIER BETTER. ONCE PULLED OVER, I GOT IT IN PARK, STARTED IT, AND WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITH NO ISSUE. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF THE DASH LIT UP THEN WENT OUT LIKE IT WOULD WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF. IT'S A MIRACLE WE DID NOT HIT THE DIVIDER OR THE SEMI BEHIND US DIDN'T HIT US.
