| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road and crossed over some railroad tracks. Once i crossed the railroad tracks and began to come up a hill, my car began to stall. Suddenly, my car's gas pedal would not work, then my brakes stopped working, and then all of my dashboard lights came on (as picture) i was going about 45 mph and i had no way of stopping my vehicle and had to use my emergency brake to stop my vehicle. I got my car to stop in the middle of the road and i could not crank my car up or move it out of the road. I could not turn my steering wheel and my whole car locked up and became unmovable. I do not understand why everything else failed and i almost wrecked into a wooded area in the middle of a curve on the busy road. I had to call police to control traffic and to keep me and my vehicle safe. I went to tuscaloosa hyundai in alabama and they said that my cars engine suddenly went out. |
