Description of the problem	On december 5, 2018 my car suddenly stalled while driving in an intersection. I immediately tried to restart it but was unsuccessful i had battery power, all of the ga restart it but was unsuccessful i had battery power, all of the gauges would a cycle back-and-forth whenever pushing the start button,however it was just like the gas motor would not fire. It is still under warranty, so i had it towed to a dealership. The next morning i was called and told that it showed a lot of codes, and they would need some time to decipher them and would notify me with results later. After about five hours i was called back and told her that the battery on the car was dead and it would not take a charge.

Then stated to me that after it started they were able to pull codes on it and it had a bed safety fuse. I was five minutes from the dealership whenever i was notified of this so i
