| Description of the problem | I pulled out of my office parking lot and as i was trying to cross into traffic going left, my car died, instrument panel light up like a christmas tree, with a car heading my way. By luck i knocked it into neutral and had enough momentum to get out of the way. Barely escaping an accident. At any moment in the future, i could see this error again: "electrical system failure: stop!", which kills the motor, and means no brake or steering assistance system (power steering), airbag, safety belt pretensioner, and other vehicle safety features. |
