Description of the problem	Low battery light came on while driving 35 mph, and two miles later the majority of dashboard lights came on. Simultaneously, a constant beeping began and wipers turned on. The scary part is that within seconds, i lost power steering and brakes did not work correctly. The road i was driving was precarious, windy, and did not have a shoulder. I continued at minimal speed around the curves for less than a mile, looking for a safe place to pull over. Very soon, the car accelerator stopped and the car died. I managed to pull the car onto the side of the road (took effort without power steering). Terrible and sudden experience. Not enough warning to get the car serviced before complete electronic and vehicle shutdown occurred. Thankful that no other vehicles were around during the incident, as i am confident i did not have safe control of the vehicle during this time. Towed vehicle to safety. Mechanic tested and discovered that alternator fully shorted and battery was completely dead (unable to recharge).
