Consumer Description

I was driving my child to daycare on my way to work one morning. I pulled into an intersection and my vehicle just stopped as if the engine had died with no warning signs, sounds or even symbols on the dash. I stepped on the gas and couldn’t get it to move all while I had cars coming at me from both sides. I tried turning it on and off nothing would get it to move, eventually the check engine light and another warning came up on the screen saying to service charging system. During all of this I was able to get my child to the side of the road out of harms way incase my vehicle were to be hit and luckily one other driver had noticed what happened and started waving at the oncoming vehicles to come to a stop. We had to have it towed to a dealership were it is currently being looked at and they are still unable to resolve the issue. I am now terrified to drive this car and am very nervous about intersections, this is a very serious problem and am just thankful that others around me were aware and able to help keep my child and myself safe.
