| Description of the problem | Rented this vehicle from enterprise rent a car, oriskany blvd, yorkville ny for a family vacation. Driving along rt 81s through pennsylvania when all of a sudden in the passing lane, the vehicle went dead. Had no indication went happened, managed to go across the extreme busy highway to right shoulder of road, knowing that the power steering and brakes would at some point stop working with engine off. This van has the new key fob system with it being in the dashboard, above one's knee. We realized after seeing all the panel lights lite up, the van was off. That is when my son-in-law saw the key on the floor by my feet. I had just re-positioned my right leg due to cramps, and unbeknownst to me, it must of hit the key. No reason this key should of fallen out due to that! Everyone was hysterical when the van went dead thinking someone would hit us and we would die. I asked enterprise for an incident report form and they did not have one, only accident forms. I told the branch manager i was reporting it to your site.
