Consumer Description

ON 4/18/2021 APPROXAMTELY 8:25PM. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXAMATELY 65 MPH ON A LOS ANGELES FREEWAY A RED ERROR MESSAGE POPPED UP THAT READ "MOTOR CONTOL ERROR STOP VEHICLE IN A SAFE PLACE" THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY ON THE FREEWAY. I WASNT ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY. ALL OF THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON, ON THE INSTUMENT CONTROL, THE CAR STILL APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONAL. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP, (IN THE MIDDLE OF A MODERALTELY BUSY FREEWAY) IT WENT INTO PARK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE AT THAT POINT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY DUE TO THEM BEING CLOSED AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED.
