ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
COMPUTER FAILURE, QUITE SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED WORKING, JERKED AND SLOWED DOWN. ALL THE SERVICE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES THE CAR COULD BE TURNED ON BUT AFTER ABOUT 1.5 MILES THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. THE HIGHWAY WAS AVOIDED BUT IT OCCURRED ON A LOCAL ROAD WITH LOTS OF CARS. THE HAZARDS WERE TURNED ON BUT IT WAS A FRIGHTENING AND CONCERNING INCIDENT. AAA WAS CALLED TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALER. AT THE DEALER A COMPUTER PART WAS REPLACED. THE CAR HAS BEEN WORKING FOR 48HRS. THE CAR WAS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD.
