“While traveling along a busy highway at approximately 45 MPH, the car engine shut down. We were unable to get the engine to start back up. We eventually needed police assistance to move the car from the far left of the highway to the far right (shoulder). The car had to be towed back to the dealership where we puchased it 9 days prior. There was gas in the car and no warning lights came on.the car stopped to the point of not being able to straighten it up with right rear in a lane of oncoming traffic.”
