I was on my way home from the dealer from getting the free detail they promised me 3 days after my purchase when all of a sudden the battery saver mode comes on I make it home to grab another shirt for work I get back into the car and the radio cuts off and the air too started to blow hot and the windshield wipers went up and the traction control light comes on followed by ABS light then power steering light comes on the wheel wouldn't work and the brakes went out but I didn't crash I was able to get stopped. The dealer gives me the run around so we talked to the vice president he sent a loner and picked the car up but I haven't heard anything in a week. I need this matter to be solved and I don't think I should have to pay out of pocket I believe it to be a recall. Thanks
