Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The car suddenly stalled. suddenly i had nothing, no power to do anything. then the transmission froze and i was in the middle of a freeway off ramp. i got out and motioned people around me. i took a deep breath. the car eventually unfroze and after several tries started up long enough for me to pull over. i took another deep breath, pulled towards the parking area but the car died before i pulled in. after a few minutes parked, it started up weakly and i was able to get it going. so i decided to take a chance (thinking it was something odd and wouldn't happen again) and pulled back into traffic. it stalled just before i merged into 70 mile an hour traffic. i felt absolutely terrified. by the grace of god, i was able to coast to the shoulder. i waited a few minutes, got it to start again and backed up to a safer place, trembling so hard i could hardly drive. *la |
