Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway and decided to pass a diesel truck to get over in to the exiting lane on the right.... I started to pass the diesel and realized that i would need to pass faster to make the exit... I pushed the gas pedal in harder to accelerate and as i was picking up speed my car just locked up.... It felt like the car stalled..... And the car went off.... I had to very quickly pull out of the lane and to the side of the road as the car was no longer operating... I narrowly missed being plowed by the diesel truck... And was able to pull off to the side. I tried to restart my car by pushing the button and it wouldn't restart an all these light were lighting up in the console. I had to wait about 10 mins and finally my car came back on. |
