| Description of the problem | Wednesday evening, february 27, 2019 at approximately 7:40 pm, my engine lost power and quit running. I was driving 50 mph eastbound on wa highway sr500 turning in a curve when the when the car lost power even though i had the accelerator pedal depressed and the engine did not respond. Thankfully it was at a time of the evening when there was not a lot of traffic on the freeway, but it was dark, so when the engine quit, and the power steering quit, i was barely able to control the car safetley off the freeway. When i had determined i was in a safe position, i tried starting the car again unsuccessfully. The engine would not turn over, so i assumed the motor was seized up. |
