Description of the problem	After the "service battery charging system" announcement, my husband went online to find i probably needed a new battery. I drove a few blocks and had the battery/alternator tested (they were fine). When driving home the vehicle entered low power mode. Many systems started turning off: radio, heater, stability, traction, abs, speedometer, and the vehicle started chugging. By now i was on a portion of the highway that was rural and trying to make it to closest mechanic. However, the car lost power/turned off. With this was loss of power steering and i let it coast to the furthest/safest spot. I've read others lost power braking, but i let it coast so far that i wouldn't know. The car lost power to the point my 4-way flashers wouldn't work. I've paid a tow bill and have no idea what's going to happen. Very, very frustrated and disappointed. Please know one hour elapsed between my battery/alternator being tested and the car dying on the highway (i stopped quick for groceries).
