Description of the problem | I was driving on the interstate in the left lane going about 74 mph with my cruise control on and using my navigation when the screen suddenly went blank and the car starting slowing down and everything shut down. The traffic was very heavy and i had to swerve over 3 lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder of the road. Other cars and trucks were honking their horns and swerving around me. I was very luck not to been involved in a serious accident. After i got to the shoulder of the road i tried several times to restart my vehicle and was unable to. I waited about 5 minutes and tried again to start it and was unable to do so. I called aaa and and tow truck came about 20 minutes later and when he got it it started up again. The car has a little over 33,000 miles and i bought it as a pre-owned certified car from the brandon ford dealership about 9 months ago. |
