| Description of the problem | On saturday - november 22, 2014 around 6:30 pm the car engine stopped and car rolled for few feet and stopped in the middle of the street. Also steering jammed and didn't move. It was stopped and didn't start back on and steering became very hard to crank it. The battery was running fine. Due to electrical and/or mechanical failure we were exposed to the unsafe environment. Fortunately, we were not on the busy street/freeway otherwise it could have been ended up in major safety incident. When this happened, we couldn't maneuver the steering resulting in situation totally out of control. |
