While pulling into a gas station windows would not go down. Also, ABS light/ check engine light came on. Doors would not unlock. Then, consumer could not turn car off. Consumer had to shake steering wheel to get the key out.
When applying the brakes, the "brake" & "ABS" warning lights will come on and the brake pedal becomes very hard to push! There is no braking action, and the pedal is about 1 inch from the floor.
