Consumer Description

ON MARCH 12 2021 I WAS ON I-4 EAST TOWARD DAYTONA BEACH ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE ENGINE STAHL. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER JUMPED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES AND THE ENGINE DIDN'T START,TOOK IT TO THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR OVERNIGHT DID ALL NECESSARY CHECKS EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE NO PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY OR ANY OTHER THING.. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR START AS NORMAL, THEY DID A TEST DRIVE AND EVERYTHING WAS OK AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I WENT AND TOOK THE CAR HOME AND AS OF THIS MOMENT IT SEEMS TO BE OK. MY BIG CONCERN NOW IS WHAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RISKING MINE AND MY FAMILY LIVES. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO???
