“I was driving my cla in the rain on the 405n in irvine, ca at about 4pm to go to my new place of employment for onboarding. I was going approximately 25-30mph because of the weather and traffic it was very slow. I put my blinker on to merge over into the second lane and my car beeped and automatically went into neutral. I couldn't do anything, it felt like my steering locked up and I could only slightly move the wheel, my blind spot assist was inoperable, my dashboard lit up every light/warning sign it could and I could not switch gears. …”
