Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway going north. I already sat in backed up traffic for 1 1/2 hours with no issues from my ford escape. I put my blinker on and got into the right middle lane. I was going maybe 15 mph and my car just died. No warning, no puttering, no sign of distress at all. I put my hazard lights on and put it in park so i could take the key out and try and restart the car. It wouldn't turn over or anything. My dash board lights were all turning on but absolutely not a sound from the engine or anything. I was stuck in the middle lane of the freeway late at night. I had to call state patrol because it was an emergency. I couldn't take my car out of park so i had to sit there and wait for state patrol and a tow truck. I was there for almost an hour. I was honked at, flipped off, and even threatened. Worst experience on my life. After we got it towed the guy tried to see if he could start it and it started right up for him. All he did was put the key in the ignition. Didn't putter or anything afterwards and stop no light. No one has any clue what could be wrong. |
