Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When i started my vehicle, all the dash lights came on and remained on. i was able to put my vehicle in park and neutral only. i was unable to turn the power off on the vehicle. it was using electricity only. the gas engine would not kick in when stepping on the gas pedal. i let the car sit for about 5 minutes then was able to turn the power off. i was then able to start the car again and drive it. i traveled approximately 35 miles without incident. i then shut the car off. i then turned the car back on and the same incident occured for the second time that day. i called the dealership the following day to report the incident. i was told they were unable to do anything with the vehicle since it was running ok now. they did fax me a copy showing that i reported this incident. this vehicle has now stalled on me a total of 3 times within a 3 week period. the first incident was on 5/23/2005 and i had to have my car towed to the dealership.
