| Description of the problem | While driving in the highway at 75 mph with cruise control on the car suddenly went to 5000 rpm and at the same time started to brake all the lights in the dashboard came on i pulled over and the car's engine shut down. I tried to started about 5 06 times the car wouldn't star and after that the car was completely dead. I had it tow to a shop. The next morning it started like nothing the mechanic at the shop said it was the battery. After changing the battery i took it to the gas station after putting gas it wouldn't start again after several tries it started. At this point i don't think the battery was the issue but i am glad i got home. This happened in starkville ms 200 miles from where i live. |
