Example complaints

“On the highway, merritt 15 in ct, the car completely shut down, no power brakes, steering, no ability to speed up. Engine shut off, all electrical shut off. Luckily I was going slow since my exit was coming up but I lost all ability to control the vehicle in a safe way and if I was going the highway speed it could have ended very badly.”
