Description of the problem | This was a hertz rental car i picked up at the orlando, fl airport. June 2, 2019. There was no operators manual in the car. It was 10 pm and i had to drive 90 miles to my destination. About 30 minutes on the highway to check oil light came on. I tried to clear the notice by pressing several buttons on the dash board. Then i thought i found the correct button and pressed it. It was the car start and off button. The car immediately shut off including all the lights. O was going 65 mph and suddenly the road was pitch black. The engine had turned off so i could not hold my speed. I slowly pulled over to the side. (turn signals were not working at this time). When i composed myself, i put the car in park and restarted it. Thankfully there were no other cars around since the car was totally dark and without power at 65 mph. I was very fortunate. I an baffled that chevrolet would not have caught this flaw before putting these cars on the road. |
