Example complaints

“Driving down steep s turn in mountains when battery cable disconnected and all of car's systems shut down. No brakes, no steering, no power. Worst part was that doors locked and we could not unlock them nor the windows. Extremely frightening. There was no cell phone service where we were. If not for forest ranger who came along, because of car being partly into one of the lanes of this two-lane road, we would have roasted to death. Nobody else stopped in spite of help signs. There was no inside manual exit from car. Ranger had to jiggle and hold battery connection until we could unlock car. …”
