“Driving on interstate 1-285 taking exit 7 to walmart when all dash board lights such as battery light, ABS, cruise, starting flickering and suddenly car just shut off while in motion. While car shut off it was still rolling and car would not shift in park, brakes and steering wheel locked, and key would not release from ignition. If I hadn't told my cousin to jump out, my family and I would have crashed in the back of a parked car at walmart.
