| Description of the problem | On 12/23/2020 at 6:00am i was driving on long point road when the vehicle completely shutdown - all electrical, engine, lights, breaks, etc. I was driving at approx. 30mph heading towards a round-about when everything shutdown. The loss of power resulted in not being able to slow down. Luckily there weren't any cars in the round-about when i entered. However, it was a rather tight round-about and was not able to make the turn and i went over the curb and drove straight through the middle of the round-about.. The car restarted after about 3 seconds and the check engine light came on. Once the car restarted, acceleration was extremely limited. I continued to proceeded down long point road until i could pull off. About 1-2 minutes after the first power failure, another power failure/complete shut down occurred. The second power shutdown lasted about 5-7 seconds and turned back on. I immediately pulled off and shut the car off and let it sit for several minutes. When i restarted it, the check engine light was on, but went off after several hours. It's worth noting, i just received the ecodeisel software updated (i think v7).
