| Description of the problem | i just experienced this error "electrical system failure: stop!" on the way home form san francisco to oakland thankfully i was already over the bay bridge. The car just lost power and stopped. After the car stopped i put on the hazards put on the break and turned the car off i had to do about 5 attempts to turn the car off, while still in the car i locked the car then re opened it with the key fob and pushed the start button the car came back to life and the dash read "ready" in green. I was then able to drive the car home. I decided to take it to the dealer today instead of waiting until tomorrow no point in wasting a day. The error "electrical system failure: stop!" happened again 3 times each time i was able to turn of the car wait and turn it back on again although it drove it definitely felt wrong and i kept it under 25mph. |
