I had to call a tow truck to come and get me. I'm thankful that I didn't make it the major road where the speed limit was 50-60 MPH. Looking for a certified dealer to service this vehicle but they are swamped so I am stuck without a vehicle. I won't take the chance to drive it I feel it is unsafe.
I was going 30mph when I noticed my radio turned off, few seconds later center console went off, afterwards all the warning lights appeared on my instrument panel. The lights were going on and off the wind shield wipers turned on. 10 seconds later I lost brake control and the vehicle was stuck on the drive gear, power steering was off as well. I ran through a red light I managed to use the emergency break to stop, once I was stopped the car was still stuck on drive, the engine was shaking and making noise it took 30 mins for the engine to turn off. The vehicle interior and exterior lights were going crazy. The car got towed now the dealer is charging me 1,020 to replace the alternator and battery.
