| Description of the problem | 1-while traveling on an interstate highway, auto engine still running but no power to wheels. Fortunately near a ramp- coasted off ramp and into a parking lot. Message - check braking system- contact dealer. After several tries, re-engaged engine, jabbed brakes repeatedly in between several failures until trouble came clear. Nothing found on examination by dealer. 2- 8/14 check braking system message appeared. Auto would not move although electrical system working. Rocked car repeatedly to try to clear message. Connected emergency battery to battery- system came clear. 3- 11/14 check braking system message appeared. Same as #2. Also had check air-bag system message. All three instances occurred on pavement but shortly after being parked on grass. Although the last two were cleared by briefly connecting an emergency battery, availability of headlights indicated car battery had sufficient voltage to operate car's systems. |
