| Description of the problem | Driving down the street and without warning the car just died. I didn't know what was going on as no lights appeared but the steering was very difficult and i realized the car just stopped running for no reason. It was very alarming since i was in the middle of the road driving. Not stopped or turning. Luckily there were no cars behind me but had i been on a busier road or going at a higher speed, it could have been extremely dangerous and even more so for an inexperienced driver. I am very concerned about the safety of this car now. |
