Description of the problem | On thursday, june 8, 2017 i had just exited a major freeway and was coming up to a red light when all of the sudden my a/c started blowing hot air. As i made my left turn to head home all of the lights on my dash came on (saying service park assist, driver seatbelt unbuckled, abs, and many others) as i crossed 3 lanes of traffic to get off the road and in to a parking lot i lost all power to my vehicle. I parked in the parking lot and turned off the vehicle, opened my hood and it was full of smoke and you could smell the electrical burn from a fire. My vehicle was impossible to get loaded on to a tow truck because in the process of getting it into neutral to load, the wipers began going off, along with all of the dash lights and the smoke began again and started to fill the passenger compartment. By the time we got it home to drop it off there was no power to the vehicle at all. |
