| Description of the problem | As i was driving on the highway, the ac stopped working. There were no warning lights, alarms or indicators that something was wrong, but i immediately got off the highway because i thought this is not right. As i braked on the ramp, the car still worked, but when i tried to accelerate leaving the ramp, there was no power. I got into an adjacent parking lot and turned off the car. When i tried to turn it back on, it was completely dead. I called aaa, they gave it a jump, but even though the battery was full, when put into drive or reverse it would do nothing. |
